I saw a child
She smiled and played
Dancing in great delight
Full of light
Close by a father who stayed
Remote on his phone
A million miles away
Content in her world
She played
But then I watched
As sadness fell
Around her
And I wanted to shake the man
Awake
And say
Your daughter needs you
Please do not break
Her heart
This is very relatable, especially in this high-tech era, when the parents get too caught up, using their smartphone, they forget they have children who need watching over.
