To Dear Oh Dear

When you blame a man, in your room, one and the same,

It’s because he’s the one always for you to blame;

He’s such an easy target, nice, gentle, and tame,

Living like a kid, not for power, nor for fame.

But when you blame him so, be sure to love him, too,

Because you might not know, or you have had a clue,

How much difficulty he has been going through,

And the most importantly, how much he loves you.
