Take my hand and walk with me...

Hi there. So, the thing about being an average dad, is the fact you deal with average things. Life throws you continuous curve balls and my wife and i are now facing another. It is dealing with depression in a 7 year old boy. My step son. I have seen this kid grow since he was 2 years, 3 months and 10 days (about)and now, he is facing one of life's many hurdles, bullies and his piers. Today, i took some time out to write something inspired for him. It goes like this...

There’s no need to close your eye’s son

I know exactly where you’ve been.

I’ve felt unwanted feelings,

I know what’s left unseen.

Your heavy heart will soon lift,

I’ll be there by your side.

Take my hand, now your first step…

C’mon son, let’s not hide.

I know it feels impossible

As if they’ve already won.

But it’s my job to teach you

All that I learnt as a son.

One day things will be different.

All the meanies moved away.

Trust me when I say to you

That life turns out okay.

Now take my hand and walk with me,

I’m right here by your side.

I’m not afraid to carry you,

Let’s fill ourselves with pride.

Along the way you’ll fall down,

Just remember I’m right here.

Now take that step and walk with me,

Away from all your fear.

  No matter what buddy, I will ALWAYS be your dad :D Hug someone close to you today, they will remember it tomorrow.
