Role Model

They sat in front of the TV but then he started to get crazy. 

He hit his wonderful wife who was a mother of two kids. 

He screamed and his two 5 and 9 year old kids ran to their room for not seeing this drama again. 

The 9 year old Liz said : 'Tom don't listen to them just come upstairs!' 

They held each others hands and ran. Tom began crying. 

Liz tried not to because she also got hit and was used to that. 

All they heard was the scream of 'No! Stop, if you love our children!'

After a while he sat down and didn't move for a few minutes. 

He started crying and Tom went to his dad and asked : ' Dad what happened and why are you crying?'

While touching his blonde hair and looking in his eyes he said: ' That happened because of your grandad.. as a kid I watched my dad and the way he treated my mom...

I love my mom ... and you should appreciate your mom too... 

He whispered 'And I should too...'

Tom cried and said: ' Dad I always do... '

Good wisdom in the poem. Kids do learn from their elders. Good and bad. I like the story in the poem and the strong ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
