Your child cries
Do you care?
Screams for a mommy
That's never there

It should be you holding him tight
Drying his eyes
Fighting the monsters that invade
His restless nights
Mommy should be his superhero
Not a wish he makes on a shooting star

No little boy should suffer like this
Or wonder whether his mom will show up
To the meetings that have been planned
For weeks
He shouldn't be surprised when you keep
Your promises

Visits from mommy and daddy shouldn't be
A surprise
Don't leave your baby boy crying
Don't make him wonder if you even care
Or question if you're there
