Belief

A boy serves his parents
  He thinks they are God
'Till, coming of age
  He sees them as odd...

The boy, his home leaves
  To a stranger now cleaves
His mother, his father, aggrieved
  -- No matter --
The boy, once again, believes

M. L. Kiser Date: 4/1/2019 11:54:00 PM It's amazing the changes in us as we age; the entire world becomes different and as we get older, we come full-circle to see much that our parent's saw. Well penned.

Thanks for your insightful comment! Blessings, gw

David Mchattie Date: 4/1/2019 5:18:00 PM A person once said that he couldn't believe how dumb his parents were when he was a teenager. And was amazed how smart they were when he was in his mid twenties. Well done on the poem. I printed it off to show my son.

(I think I got it right). Thank you so much for the encouragement and support, David. Best wishes, Gershon
