I Am Your Child
And I Need You Badly
Please look at me carefully
the next time you see me.
Please notice
that I am small and weak.
Please listen to me carefully
the next time you see me.
Please notice
that I don't know much.
Like you, I was born helpless,
and growing up
so I can take care of myself
and it will
take me a long time, too.
I need food.
I need rest.
I need to be kept clean.
I need to be kept
warm in winter and cool in summer.
I need to be
taken in your arms
or sat on your lap.
I need to feel
your skin against my skin.
I need you to help heal my hurts.
I need you to play with
just so you and I
can have some good times together.
I need you
to teach me everything you can
so I'll have a chance
in this world when I grow up.
I need your patience.
I know I'm not very orderly.
I cry out for things
like food and attention
the second I need them.
I can't help it,
and I know
that bothers you sometimes.
All I can hope is that you
will be patient with me
until I can learn to be patient, too.
Above all, I need to know you love me.
Even if your parents gave you no love,
try to give a little to me
so I can give a little to my children
and they can give a little to their children.
I need so much from you,
yet I have only one thing
I can give you in return.
That is my love.
Today and tomorrow
and as long as I live.
