My Nightmare

My Nightmare

A Poem by Some John




My worst nightmare  
  
My son and I were sitting 
At our favorite fishing spot 
It was an overcast sky 
Not to cold 
And not to hot 
  
Just a nice calming breeze 
Rippled this secluded little bay 
Our faces kissed by the sun 
Was a picture perfect kind of day  
  
I was asking him random questions 
Laughing at his six year old replies 
He kept brightening my soul 
With that twinkle in his eyes 
  
It was my worst moment 
In all my thirty five years 
His eyes light with sincerity  
And mine welled with tears 
  
Was just after I asked 
When he grows up 
Just what he wanted to be 
My heart beat still 
His innocence and sincerity   
  
Wanted to be schizophrenic 
  
       "Just like me"
