Time

We watch them growΒ 

We heal their wounds

We carry them home

We plan their big eventsΒ 

when they are small the look up to us

They even adore us

But when they are almost grown they frown at usΒ 

They curse at usΒ 

They even runaway from us

When did we cross that time ?

I can't seem to remember that part!

My sweet little child Β that adored me so now seems to despise me even moreΒ 

WhenΒ did we cross that time ?

They say it will all be ok just give it time,

But what isΒ lost while I'm waiting onΒ time ?she seems to be no longer mine,

I'll give it time Β 

I have no choice and pray to god Β we find what we lost while I gave into time !!Β

True 'ting!' Kim... yes, at times parenthood will make you scratch your head in confusion with its many contradictions...I like the way you wrote this, conversational, withΒ a mingling of humor and frustration, many parents are 'getting this'....really nice job, the subject matter is cool as well...cheers

Sadness Creeps In

Sadness Creeps In

It haunts the edges of sleep, pulling me awake.
It’s etched into my bones, but I feign ignorance...
