Haiku – Crying

My son’s endless cries

Hard tears on a father’s soul

Purest pain on Earth

I had debated about posting this one after I wrote it a few days ago, but it seems to fit the moment my wife and I are in right now.  We are trying to let our son sleep until he falls asleep so we can get him on a better schedule.  He seems to be getting better, but this is one of those tough times in his life and mine.

      It really is. It is getting better though. How did you deal with it?

        well we just carried them around 24 hours a day. We were not tough — they both had a us whipped and still do. My husband and I were not of the mind set to let the babies cry themselves to sleep. But they were so damn colicky– they cried ALOT

        I think when they have colick it all goes out the window. You really just have to do what works during that time.
