My Darling Son

by | Nov 22, 2009 | Poetry | 0 comments

This is my son.
You can have him…
But only on loan.
Make sure you return him to me
In the same state I gave him to you.
For he is my darling son…
And I love him deeply.
Take care of him…
In the same way that
I have cared for him.
Nurture him…
As I have nurtured him.
Be proud of him…
As I am proud of him.
Comfort him…
As I have comforted him.
Protect him…
As I have protected him.
And please…
Please…I beseech you…
Keep him safe from harm.
Remember…
He is not your property,
He is not yours…
He is mine…
He belongs to me…
And I want him back.
I want him back
In the same condition
In which I handed him to you…
For this is my belovéd son…
And he means the world to me.
Promise me…
You will give him back to me…
Unharmed.
For he is my son…
My dear son…
My darling son.

Please…

Please…
