The defeat..

A freckled face, wide smile and twinkling eyes,

I see you sitting on your favorite chair,

Leafing through the recent pick

You wink at me listening to her constant advise.

She is furious we both realize,

But you don't let go of your child like grin,

Because you know otherwise..
You let me win

Strolling on the road 

in the bright shining sun,

we roam..you accompany me,

because I find it fun...

You get me chocolate bars
And a pair of cards;
I pester you to play
Scowl,yell and throw fits till you do what I say,
You let me win.


Bang my books and my head
Use you gray matter wisely,
it's easy you say
You amaze me with facts
You dazzle me with stories
You crack me up with jokes
I leave because it's time to go,
You let me win.


I tell you about my day,
After a while you ask me again,
I assume it to be one of your tricks
Until I realize the truth
You keep asking me time and again
I read to you, you pretend to understand
But we both know
You just let me win.


I come to you, 
telling you that this time just like you,
they let me win,
I show you my award
You smile,
We both know,you don't recognize me anymore
But you still let me win.


I fall on the ground with weak knees,
I see you lying there peacefully
Same freckled face,
but eyes shut and lips sealed
Covered in white;
Flowers adorn your feet
Tears from my eyes fall on your hand
This time I don't fight;I don't retaliate
You seem so free from all the pain,
So for the first time..
I let you win.
