Didn't

Plain faced doll lying on the floor,
Stepped over and stepped on, kicked into a spin across the room,
Little boy, laying in tears,
Little girl, reveling in fears,
Shaping hands work busily,
Working towards full grown,
If changed in my young years had I been,
Many passed pain would not have been,
Laying on the side of life’s road breathing hard,
Never stopping, ever trying,
Red hot metal, can be bent, shaped into something for its life,
Don’t pass time for it to cool, change won’t come easy,
How much easier would
This
Have been,
If parenthood’s hands had shaped me when they could have, should have,
Didn’t.
