Poem
Don’t baby your babies when they are five. Don’t carry them into kindergarten. Kindergarten is for learning. Kindergarten is for sharing. Share your woes with adults. Share your philosophy with friends. Friends make the world palatable. Friends are good for your child. Child, be your best self. Child, use please and thank you. Thank you for letting your babies grow. Thank you for not carrying them into kindergarten. Kindergarten is for children. Kindergarten is not for mommies. Mommies, be kind to your children. Mommies, let them grow up. Grown-ups know the strength of free will. Grown-ups allow children some risks. Risk letting them love others. Risk letting them experience life. Life is not just kindergarten. Life is learning to love. Love them enough to let them fly. Love them enough to let them feel. Feel the headaches? Feel the backaches? Backaches happen when you can’t let go. Backaches happen when you don’t trust. Trust others to love your child. Trust others to show them new ways. New ways to play. New ways to treat others. Others can open your child’s horizons. Others can help them with their dreams. Dreams can aid your journey too. Dreams are wishes that lead to inspiration. Inspiration can help you be fulfilled daily. Inspiration can lead your child to his own goals. Goal one, let your child live. Goal two, focus on your own uniqueness. Unique is your child. Unique you are too. Too many parents forget to let go. Too many want to live their child’s dreams. Dream for yourself, Mommy. Dream for yourself, Daddy. Daddies are sometimes the first to let go. Daddies often lead the way. Way too soon is kindergarten. Way too soon for lots of mommies. Mommies take a good look at yourself. Mommies, your child you must release. Release Yourself
