Nette Onclaud Poet Verse

About Parenting

For gentle is the spirit of parents 

That listens intuitively to a child’s echo,

An accompaniment from their breaths
 
Speaking only purity of thought--

Without deceit or adult-like fakery:  like so,

Night birds croon in deep esteem,

When moonlight leads their youngster home… till

Burst of morning glistens  on a child, 

Utterly joyous and fed with familial love

While heaven bows back to man and wife,

Humming tunes of praise for safe journeys…

A couple devoted, guiding their child’s essence

That makes his world ever brave and authentic.
