What You Need to Hear

To my future child

A thousand words of advice

A million stories thrown upon your ears

A plethora of anecdotes to put you to sleep

And a mountain of

Advice unsolicited

Are most obviously not what you are

Asking for. Therefore, I

Ask you: What do you need?

A moment of silence,

A listening ear,

A friend and father who cares.

Always loving,

Always there for you without judgment

A million hugs

A billion more silences and occasionally

Affirmation that you are still worthy of love.

A confirmation that you are not crazy

A word of encouragement and hope

A fleeting smile of understanding

And love without judgment. I

Am here, my child, you

Amaze me and I will

Always love you.
