A Child's Love

How do I know if my child loves me?

A Child's Love

A child's love is like a whisper,

given in little ways we do not hear;

but if you listen closely,

you will hear.

They do not say it out loud,

but in how they come to you;

Daddy, can you play with me,

Mommy, can you tie my shoe?

The many ways they tell you,

change as they grow;

Dad, I made it to the team today,

Mom, I've got to go.

Pop, I need some money,

you see...there's this girl at school;

Mama, I met a boy today,

and...wow, he's so cool!

Dad, I've something to tell you,

I think she's the one,

Mom, he asked me to marry him,

will you love him as your son?

Dad, I've got some news for you,

It's gonna be a boy!

Mom, I'm kind of scared of this,

yet, I'm filled with joy!

A child's love is like a whisper,

given in the little ways we do not hear;

but if you listen closely,

it will be very clear.
