when my son was

four

he cried when

he went to school ugly

tears of terror at a

world so new

peopl

e

place

s

thing s

for months every day

he cried as I

drew hearts on his

hand and promised

him his world would

be alright


when my son was

eleven

he cried when he

couldn't go to school ugly

tears of terror as the world

collapsed around him gone

were his friends

his

teachers

his

books

his

shoes


he cried as I held him

like he was four years

old and filled him with

empty promises the

world would be alright
