Parents
Pick profound prize in poignant price,
Allow the feel of childlike choice;
Rest if you must the heavy load,
Expect the best of offsprings here;
Note the mistakes in learning curve,
Tell them to be their poise most clear;
See that worry can do no good.
Yield then the space where love may grow,
Opt to live now life's daily stakes;
Use cause to gauge the errors found.
Keep faith and hope as love sojourns,
Niche a deep trust that lets them fail,
Observe the field where play ascends,
Wise words can purge that judgement shout.
