Notes About The Poem

A Parent's Love Poetry Contest. Sponsored by: Matt Caliri 

A Parent's Love

As parents,
we never know what a child will ask.
All we can do is,
be prepared.
Out of the blue I was asked,
"which one do you love more?"
That was an easy question and answer.
When I give out cookies,
each of you get the same number.
Because I love you each equally.

Valsa George August 9, 2026 at 2:14 AM Dear Paula, this is a clever way of answering a tough question. In fact a true parent has no partiality. But love differs from time to time according to the acts of children. Paula Goldsmith August 9, 2026 at 1:22 PM It is great to see you here.
