A PRAYER FOR NOAH

[jason1]

I sneak into my sons room late at night
to see if he's OK, check if he's alright
I linger a moment longer
as he slumbers and I ponder
He is untainted, He is new
so much to learn, so much to do
can I put right in his life what went wrong in mine
can I protect him from all of mankind
hope for him, is hope for me
can I finally be sent free
maybe I have a chance to turn it all around
to my damnable fate his life cannot be bound
I think of my boy and my life as I write this rhyme
and ask GOD the strength to end the cycle for all time

[Andrea]

this is quite lovely

Very nice. It started out a bit uneasily for me, but after the first four lines, I began to enjoy it. I love the thoughts of the parent as they ponder their child's future. It's a very scary time, which I why I like the closure of this poem. Great job.

Favorite line:

He is untainted, He is new
so much to learn, so much to do
