Walking On

Walking down the road Searching for the right words  Trying to listen with my heart My hurting son beside me Shuffling his feet Kicking at stray rocks Lagging behind Head tucked down Image: chrisroll / FreeDigitalPhotos.net "What is wrong" "Why all the anger" "Please talk to me" I'm begging Pleading  Praying for answers Bit by bit They come But he's hesitant and fearful He wonders "What it might be like" "Why I feel this way" He worries He will hurt us We may not understand We might be angry I tilt his face up to look into my eyes I tell him "It's ok."
