Another day spent in my Hell <br />Alone with my maturity and the pain <br />The sun is hanging out in a blue sky <br />And the air is cool and dry for a change <br />But it's still Hell inside my parental head <br />The seed of my loins has grown tall <br />Yet exhibits the shortcomings of the world <br />Having a sense of self entitlement <br />With absolutely no sense of responsibility <br />That apple fell far from my tree <br />Rolling over closer to her mother's <br />As a loving father and man of goodwill <br />I want to open my heart and my wallet <br />For I would die a thousand times over <br />If it would change her burden <br />But the truth I must face today <br />Is the truth she will have to face tomorrow.... <br />Life is full of both joys and sorrows <br />Either or..... <br />The bills must still be paid <br /> <br /> <br />(2007)<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-late-payments-on-youthful-bliss/
