This child
This child with my eyes, my curiosity, my heart.
This child is quiet like me, but his mind never stops going.
This child reads to escape his reality, as I am separated from his father.
This child seems to want to have a say, and we can only wait until he says.
This child is both parts of his mother and father.
Stubborness from both
Mothers brain
Fathers wit
He knows every button to hit
Only pushes the ones he wants when he wants
This child only wants to eat the same things everyday without variety because he is a simple man.
This child soon to be man will be patient with people struggling to live life because he has been so patient with us.
This separation will serve us all.
We will either go our separate ways forever or we will reunite stronger.
He is a witness to both sides as we will share custody until he is of age.
He show emotions of sadness but I know he is as we all are.
Life starts over as we interrupt the days going back and forth to mom's and dad's.
This child is excited for a new apartment, a complex with a pool is on his mind.
We will lookup back on this time later and remember sharing a room for those few days a week he came to sleep over. Games of UNO, and Clue.
I hope this makes him a stronger man, because he will see me struggle on my own.
