Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Baby Robins Fly the Nest

~We Are Family ~

Baby robins fly the nest
  Young fish swim away
Baby bucks soon sprout antlers
  No reason to stay...

Human parents are spoiled
  Our babies do not stray
They stick around for years
  ~ A price we gladly pay

Debra L Brown November 14, 2021 at 10:04 PM Hi Gershon, I enjoyed this poem, It's hard to let go of a child that you have brought into the world and raised for 18 years. We only hinder them if we don't allow to go into the world and make there own decisions and living. Thanks G ~ Debbie Gershon Wolf November 15, 2021 at 6:19 PM Hard to let go; harder to keep them around. Middle ground is hard to find with our kids. Thanks for the insightful comment, my friend. Peace, Gershon

Valsa George November 14, 2021 at 7:27 PM 'They stick around for years ~ A price we gladly pay'..... rather 'a boon we long for' . As parents we now suffer from 'empty nest' syndrome. Gershon, 'we are a family'!! Gershon Wolf November 15, 2021 at 6:16 PM Yes, so true, Valsa. Life is all about family. ~ gw
