• final copy of that poem from before, its much better now:

   

  and I want to
  take you away
  and watch Pokemon and Ninja Turtles with you
  to feed you illicit gummy worms and chips
  to teach you how to make a kingdom of brown boxes
  to make fairy gardens in butter containers
  I want to teach you the wonder of moth eaten dresses and coats
  to lose yourself in your imagination with a pencil and paper
  to live barefoot
  I want to teach you to climb a tree
  to become a fairy in that tree
  to sew a button
  to dance, in the shower and in the street
  I want to teach you that red food colouring holds the key to happiness
  I want to teach you to wear flowers in your hair
  and to run through parks screaming without a care in the world
  
  I will take you and teach you such things
  the beauty of a sunset, red as rubies
  the art of escaping, a train racing to an unknown border
  I will teach you defiance, individuality and hope
  I will teach you the importance of peace
  to stand up to parents, teachers and those who are ignorant
  I will tech you of the past, the present and of what the future may hold
  I will teach you tolerance, acceptance
  and a sense of social justice
  to understand anger and disappointment
  to save those who need saving
  I will teach you that music is the food of the soul
  to cling to the great things when things aren’t so great
  
  I taught you to love
  and to live without love
  I taught you tears mean happiness and joy
  I taught you fairness and how to be kind
  I taught you to hold someone tight
  I taught you innocence
  to be stupid and immature
  and to enjoy every moment of it
  I taught you to laugh
  to live
  I taught you fun
  I taught you freedom
  
  and one day
  you will teach them
  what you have learned
