Melody’s Poem: For every child who’s struggled
I was young once
I even used to dance until one day
I lose the chance
My mother said to me
And so, you see I am without my dad
No more stories, my life seems gloomy, My mothers
Sadness seemed so dooming.
Days go by and so I cry how long until this will all pass by?
My sadness is justified for my dad has just died.
I’m home from school, there was no fun, my friends try cheer me, but the grief has won. there is nothing wrong with that.
I’m only so grateful to say I still have my mum.
She calms me only with the sound of her hum. I love my mum
And although I don’t have my dad, life isn’t so bad sharing it with me and my mum.
I’m playing in the park, my dog jumps and barks, it’s just me and my mum
The walk home is cold
Most journeys are, the ups and downs, I wouldn’t say I’m proud.
But of my mum… I’d say it out loud.
She stands tall, next to her I’m holding her hand she looks at me smiling bland. I am here with me and my mum.
Our house is warm, no goose bumps or lousy brauls. I’m smiling, today was a good day. Over the months, I smile a lot more, my mum is too, and I am all for, to take each day at a time, is slow, but fine.
For I am happy with my mum and I.
Each journey at times is hard and rough, but give it some time, things will be fine.
And although I miss my dad, life isn’t so bad.
To never imagine just me and my mum, things are still tough, but I can still have fun.
The sadness stays for I am not to blame. The loss of my dad I am not the same.
Yeah, as time will heal, I can’t help but feel for I am proud of my mum, how far she’s come.
Losing her love, she fell apart but stayed strong.
I love my mum.
