      EXPECTATIONS                      TIM WILLIAMS              JUNE 2015

WHY DOES HE RAISE HIS HAND TO THAT CHILD ?
THE CHILD ONLY ACTS IN THE MANNER HE ACTS,
DID YOU NOT NOTICE, THAT SINCE IT WAS A BABY
IT COPIES ALL YOU DO,
IT LEARNED FROM YOU !!, IT STILL LEARNS FROM YOU !!,
ANYTHING IT DID TO THROW YOU INTO FURY
AND LOSE ALL CONTROL,
IT ACQUIRED FROM IT'S PARENTS,
IF YOU REQUIRE A MODEL CHILD
OR WISH IT TO BE SO,
THEN RISE TO THE STANDARD YOU WISH FOR YOURSELF FIRST,
THEN TEACH IT TO YOUR CHILDREN,
DO NOT EXPECT FROM THEM
WHAT CHILD DOES NOT SEE IN YOURSELF,
BUT ABOVE ALL NEVER, NEVER BEAT YOUR CHILDREN,
ESPECIALLY IN A PUBLIC PLACE,
I FOR ONE DO NOT WISH TO KNOW THIS STILL OCCURS,
AND THEREFORE DO NOT WISH TO WHITNESS SUCH VIOLENCE,
 WHEN I HAVE I HAVE JUST JUST 2 MINUTES PREVIOUSLY
RETURNED MY 7 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER BACK TO HER MOTHER,
AFTER SPENDING THE WEEKEND WITH ME,
AS ALL I WANT TO DO IN THE WORLD AT THAT MOMENT
IS TO HOLD AND KISS HER AGAIN,
LOOK INTO THE MIRROR AND LEARN FROM IT'S REFLECTION,
FOR YOUR CHILDS SAKE ACT LIKE AN ADULT,
DONT PISS ON THE FLOOR OF LIFE
AND NOT EXPECT TO BE DROWNED IN YOUR OWN URINE
