Love Lessons

Child be mindful of life lessons taught Love lessons a lifetime worth Little eyes and mind patterning future choice Compass of life formed Mapping right or wrong from adult form A father’s smile at a girl child’s stubbornness from birth Wearing her coat all summer long Papa I know it’s hot but Red Riding Hood wore her’s none stop Memories of hours spent reading books together Endless question of a mind still growing Lessons of patience, love and acceptance Teaching his daughter what manhood consists of Never a mother’s touch No connection she was always distance More of a taker never a giver An out of town visit she was frustrated Wall and Child connected Lessons of fear, anger, and non-forgiveness Teaching her daughter mistrust of women Adult woman accomplished woman Choosing the easier path, paper making Afraid to bear fruit in case it’s sour Forgetting that half of her was pure heaven Instead focusing on that she devil’s evil

Parents do teach life lessons, of course. I like it that the father teaches the daughter about men. It's unfortunate that the mother left a lasting negative lesson. A sad poem, all in all, but fine, telling writing. Jack

I love to interpret the storiy revealed in a poem. Yours is a great story of a fathers love and the negative teachings of a terrible mother then the struggles of a grown woman who is torn between good and evil. I hope I got that right. Thank you for your kind words on my poem A Mystical Place.
