My Child

Wish you were my child

The way you look

The way you smiled

Really, I wish you were

My child

Wish you were my child

So innocent and kind

With you, I`d spend all

My time

Your face is so bright

You act so polite

I wouldn`t think

To hurt you despite

Only wish you were

My child

You`re different from

Every other child

Our few moments together

Makes life worthwhile

Hope your parents

Don`t mind

The way I seem to

Define my love for you

With songs, poems and rhymes

But deep inside

I really wish you were

My child

My own, my bone, my flesh

And my soul, my home

My goal

And everything I own

Would belong to you

My one and only child

Wonder how

Some people hurt you.

They want to destroy you.

They don`t remember

That they too were allowed to enjoy childhood

 Like they should

Allow you to.

It pained me, it ache me

But thank God he made me

With a tender heart

So I could have love

Towards every child

Around me

Wish you were my child

Wish every child were

My child

Look at the faces in

Various places

Don`t let them go astray

Don`t throw them

In the garbage

Like something wasted.

Love them, Hug them

Appreciate them.

If they need a friend,

Be there for them.

Don`t you wish

That child

Were your child
