Where are your children tonight?

It’s funny how you can look back at photos of your children and wonder where that small child went.

feet on the riding horseWhat happened to the cheeky smile?

The fear of the dark that enters every room and makes Sleep fell quite anxious.

What happened to the trusting hug that locked around your neck?

Did I miss any signs? Did I even look?

Who is the person in front of me?

They have walked in the door with a dour expression on their face.

There is no connection.

They will never throw a ball with you again.

They will never ask you to help them ride a bike.

Their life will be full of secrets, despair, anxieties, and faded dreams and ambitions that I will never learn of or even imagine.

Just as my parents never knew about mine.
