Poem: 

I Will Listen & Protect You My Child!

I listen to you when you cry,

I even listen when you lie. 

You think that I don't care, 

So these words with you I share. 

I have always listened and heard, 

Each and every single word.

I might not respond like you think I should, 

Or exactly like you thought I would. 

Sometimes you will never know, 

The action that I show. 

When your words are said to me, 

It is the pain you speak I see. 

So when you think I do nothing, 

Know I have done something. 

I just don't want you to see, 

How much it also hurts me! 

I take time to react, think and do- 

And take care of those that hurt you. 

You aren't meant to see how I get it done, 

You are only meant to know that we won! 

You are a part of me my child, 

And although you may seem wild.... 

I will always protect you, love you, and want you. 

Yes I care, yes I want to help, so I do! 

I am your parent- that's what my job is!
