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
