\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

by Logan Niblo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I tuck him into bed
With a hug and wish goodnight,
Something from a perfect story book.
Think about tomorrow I whisper
Giving him one last gentle smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I close his bedroom door
And look around the house
You\u2019d think a bomb had hit,
My mind flashes back
To the way it all went down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It started with a joke
That just got out of hand,
Soon the house was trashed
With plates, holes in the walls, broken glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hurtful things were said
Insults thrown like punches
But he says
It\u2019s not my place to discipline
I am not his Parent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thinking about his life
What he went through
Abuse, neglect, nearly killed
A child with no childhood
Although its not an excuse
I remember back to mine
Me, mum, dad and dog
Laughing having fun
I can\u2019t help to think What if?
He\u2019s been in care eight years now
Is that a fair life to live?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I tuck him into bed
With a hug and wish goodnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
