Sweet Prince

I have a little problem

It cuts me deep inside

It's a very sensitive issue

A simple truth i can't abide

My son was only three years old When last i saw his face

Sometimes i wish i could give up, Vanish without a trace

However that can never be

I won't give her the satisfaction

The way i feel, she can never see

I curse my own inaction

If i Could have one simple wish

My thoughts i would evince

Kiss him lightly on his head and say........ 

Goodnight sweet prince

You have exposed so much feeling in so few words! It touches the reader deeply without being maudlin. Can feel your pain so much! This is a great expression of your feelings!

This is a very real part of yourself you have shared here. Takes courage to do this. Nice and sweet and it has a rhythm one would find in a children's piece.
Thank you for sharing.
