Only Child

Dear only child
How I pity you,
For not having siblings to play with,
Goof about and talk to.

Dear only child,
I don't know how you manage,
For you are a lonely being, 
Without social skills.

I'd hate to be you,
For your parents are your only friends
And you don't know a world above and beyond.
You're alone.  

Dear only child,
I like the person you are,
For overcoming hardships albeit alone,
Without a sibling near.

Dear only child,
I see your suffering
When you see the warmth between siblings 
Something you never enjoyed.

Dear only child,
I hope no one has to be like you
And go through the world  
For this dark place isn't safe for you to tread alone. 

Dear only child, 
I wish you saw the joys of the great outdoors 
And not opt to stay in your room.
For the world has a lot to offer, not just the sorrows.
