From a Childs eye

A mother lies, as her child weeps,
Tears of despair stain the cotton sheets,
Mattress sodden,
"Trapped"
The child stare's out,
Watching - kids play in the street,
Comfort found by the blanket,
That's at his feet,
Teddies stained, by the nights - wet dreams,
Love has gone - and emptiness looms,
Feelings lost and all confused,
His cries un-heard, except the dog barks and replies,
With a lick to his cheek and a smile in his eyes,
Talking gibberish,
The dog nods - agrees - and walks on bye,
Sad but true I hear you cry,
The fact of life,
From a Childs eye,
