I Remember

by Jodi Sides

I remember him,

giggling, playing, cooing, kissing.

I taught him,

loving, caressing, tenderness.

I gave him,

heart, soul, mind, body.

SHE watched him,

suffer, hurt, cry.

SHE taught him,

pain, torture, sadness.

SHE gave him,

hate, anger, hunger.

Today I see him,

hurting, vengeful, angry.

I watch him,

hit, spit, lie, steal.

I teach him,

time-in's, strong sitting, theraplay.

I give him,

heart, soul, mind, body.
