Parenting

Being a parent is a blessing

Watching your child grow

Seeing From a perspective

Once you did not know

Having to become a teacher

Of both right and wrong

Showing how to share

How to get along

As they grow lessons come

Not only what they hear

Their eyes are focused in

On every laugh and tear

Like a sponge they soak up

Any quality time

This is what they cling too

Carry through their prime

As teen parents give and take

Responsibility

Knowing it will not be long

Until they are free

Whether your child is obedient

strong-willed like a goat

You love them just the same

Keep paddling the boat

Once they are on their own

you are a call away

To help anyway you can

Or hear what they say

Being a parent is a blessing

for the strong at heart

watching a child learn and grow

while playing a part
