Until Friday

It is only till Friday I say
Count the days
1-2-3-4-5-
His voice like an angel

Don't cry, I say
I will call every day
It hurts to speak
My trembling voice

Ring, ring, ring
Hello, yes, he is ready
Will be there shortly
His smug voice

Daddy's on his way
His eyes look into mine
I see the tears
His sea- blue eyes

His hand in mine
We walk outside
He watches each passing car
His sad boy eyes

There he is , I say
I feel his hand tighten
1-2-3-4-5-
His little boy voice

I love you, I say
I love you too
Five days?
His voice echoes

Five days, I say as they drive away

To share love is a pain.. knowing that it is love you share...is your gain. Well penned.

This is but an echo of the society that we live in today. Sadly enough, not all kids get to see their dads, let alone spend the weekend with them, though. Or their moms, depending on who's gone. Again, nicely done.

though I'm not sure what this is about it is very good ... and has my interest! and btw, I almost always feel like an alien in a strange land! I believe a lot of artists feel this way. Keep up the good writing!

Hello Chloe, thank you for the comment on my profile.. this is innocent reflection on a difficult subject, parting hurts.. I like the sweet rhythmic lines, it is short yet evocative. and I like to see you writing poems again!

I can relate to this I come from divorced parents and this really does speak to me. Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece!

[Samuel Dickens]

It must be heartbreaking. Hopefully, though, good will come of it. I used to bounce from one parent to the other.
