Loved as

by Rebecca - Not entered

Loved as,
Joshua, when he was born
And David looking in his eyes
Smiling and changing as his daddy stood there
And how he treated him like he might break
Just waiting to hold him forever

Loved as,
My mom, staying home to raise her children
And not regreting it
Reading us stories
And falling asleep before we did
And kissing our wounds

Loved as,
The first man I ever loved, My father
Always working harder when we needed more
When I had colic, taking care of me
Then going to work for eighteen hours

Loved as,
All my friends, who I would do anything for
Because they've done the world for me
People I'll always be there for
Even if they don't need me

Who taught me how to worship my friends
And to always be there for people?
Who taught me to love and be loved?
See beauty internally?
And see the good in people?
Who taught me?

Reason for writing:

    The reason I wrote this poem is because of my parents. I can 
always count on them for comfort and guidance and the one 
thing that will never change, their love for me. They've 
taught me so much in my life and being only 16 at the 
present time, there is so much more to learn.
