I sometimes forget

I sometimes forget they are not me

I sometimes forget they can do somethings but may need me to do them for them

I sometimes forget schedules are not God's timing

I sometimes forget being late is just life 

I sometimes forget they may need a minute more


I sometimes forget they need me to chill out

I sometimes forget they need me to have fun with them

I sometimes forget my words can build up or break down

I sometimes forget they don't always need to learn a lesson

I sometimes forget how small they really are

I sometimes forget they are only 8 and 6 years old

I sometimes forget they too are going through this deployment

I sometimes forget they are hurting deep inside

I sometimes forget they don't understand why 

I sometimes forget they need to vent

I sometimes forget tears are good for them

I sometimes forget there are profound sadness in the happiest of times


I sometimes forget they are ALWAYS missing him, wanting him, and needing him
