for the love of
four small children who
really don’t know me
all that well i brave
first the parking lot,
then the toy aisle
of the friendly local
Walmart, two weeks
before Christmas
and i am shoulder to
shoulder with the masses
of everyday people looking
for those great deals
as we all fall in line
and dance the dance
of commercialism
This poem is really humble and down to earth i think. Its really nice and revealing of a parent who cant show their true pain and emotions in order to protect their kids emotions. Hats off to you🎩
