Please
With your eyes RED you would come home,
breathing heavily with rage written all over your face
Not even our warm greetings would calm you down,
so afraid we would remain quiet 🤫,
we didn't know what to do or say because either way it would end up in us getting a beating
The violence, the abuse?
Your own woman would even try but it seemed like she is the main person you had a problem with
and we were just in the way,
or you just never liked us,
you never wanted to have us?
We are yours what did we do wrong?
We looked up to you for guidance, protection and provision
What were we to learn from this?

Dear future wife and kids, I will never treat you the way I was by own.
