Walk-Away-Athon

It sucks when you take off work for your daughters walk-a-thon But when you get there she only says “hey” Then you watch the other kids walk, hand in hand, with their mothers While your daughter walks away 10/3/11

Susan, I really like this one. GREAT sarcastic title too. It really hurts. I feel your pain. Something similar happened to me regarding my son. Luv, Andrea

it tells me that your a strong dicplinarian. as a parent it is better to be feared than loved as a lover it is better to be loved than feared. you could have called this the "walk off athon" hahaha. sorry i know it hurt somewhat. but what they say is true; if it does'nt kill ya...

Yes, that does suck, but kids often don't think...they don't really mean to offend. A good little poem that gets to the heart of things. xoxo Robert.
