Time-- another Poem

This is a poem I wrote for a presentation I had to give on paying more attention to our kids. It was suppose to be a persuasive presentation to get everyone to be on the side I was taking. Anyway, I came up with this poem.

I remember the days of laughter and carefree,

we played a lot and was happy as can be.

Slowly by slowly you both were gone so much,

so busy with work, or school, or church and such.

Alone I sit wanting to be cared for,

I was so excited when you walked through the door.

I asked you to come outside and play,

All you said was, "I'm too tired, I had a hard day."

So now I'm alone again and you don't care,

because all you wanted was me out of your hair.

I don't hate you, I just want you to take time for me,

I'm so important to you don't you see?
