On the Edge
Written By: D. Collins 4/7/16
A child can be as stubborn as they want to be.
But, we have the power. Parents like you and me.
Once we are tested, natural instinct kicks in.
We step up to the plate like women and men.
They see it in our eyes. We’re not to be played with.
If they open their mouths, sanity will drift.
It might get ugly, because we’ll never bow down.
We’ll make them realize they’re just daughters and sons.
People our age should actually never be scared.
Because, they’ve never done nothing or been anywhere.
We have the experience. Yet, they have the edge.
Once they’ve fallen over, we’re sitting on the ledge.
