And so he wept

With ears to hear and eyes to see he wept. To know pain so early in life, wept. Why do parents make their kids feel like crap? 4 years and 5 months should be a happy time. He with a child-like innocence like no other must look into the eyes of a shrew. And so he wept. So loud his cries were, your ears would ring, but mine bleed. I am there. A comforter for his pain, because I am no stranger to the situation. How many times have looked outside with weary eyes, I've lost count. Now, he sits beside me and no words are spoken. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "The sun illuminates only the eye of man, but shines into the eye and heart of the child." It took me awhile to understand what Emerson meant, but when I see my little brother watching the sky and trees he looks happy and even peaceful. Everyday I wish to see that light in his eyes. I would rather cry than see tears fall down his face, and so I wept.
