watching you

I WATCHED AS YOU CAME INTO THIS WORLD. SMALL AND TINY. BLIND TO ALL. ONLY YOUR CRY COULD BE HEARD WHEN YOU NEEDED ME. THAT WAS THEN. I WATCHED YOU TAKE YOUR FIRST STEP, AND SAY YOUR FIRST WORD.I WATCHED THE FIRST EXPRESSIONS ON YOU FACE. AND AS YOU FIRST LEARNED TO UTTER SO DEARLY YOUR FIRST WORD. WHEN YOUR SAFETY NET WAS ME AND NOT THE WORLD. WHEN I COULD MAKE YOU SMILE AND COULD TELL WHAT YOU WHERE THINKING. I EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT THE TIME YOU GOT YOUR FIRST SPANKING. AND THEN IT BEGAN THE LINE WAS DRAWN THIS IS MY SIDE DONT COME THIS FAR. WHEN LAUGHTER WAS SILENCED BY YOUR NOW MATURE MIND. I LOOK AT YOU NOW WONDERING WHY TIME HAD TO FLY BY SO FAST. WATCHING YOU GOING THROUGHT THIS ALL KNOWING THAT THE STEPS I MAKE MUST BE WISE. CAUSE NOW YOU TURN FROM ME NOT EVEN LOOKING IN MY EYES. A STRANGER YOU SAY IS ALL YOU SEE. A STRANGER I SAY IS LOOKING AT ME. I HOPE SO HARD FOR YOUR FUTURE TO BE WITH EASE OF YOUR SUCCESS. YOU THINK HARSELY OF ME. ONE DAY YOU'LL SEE CAUSE YOU'LL BE A PARENT LIKE ME. WATCHING YOU.
