L Milton Hankins Poet Rhyme

Children Don'T Come With Manuals

Children will generally meet your expectations
Especially when they feel loved and accepted,
When feelings are factored into many situations
When with their parents they feel connected.

They certainly deserve a cogent explanation,
Without anger and threats being interjected,
As to why their parents expect a cessation
Of the type of unacceptable behavior detected.

Caren Krutsinger June 30, 2021 at 11:20 PM I will be printing this on T-shirts "Without anger and threats being interjected," Because so many have no idea how important this is! L Milton Hankins July 1, 2021 at 7:35 AM I know what you mean, Caren. I like what Terry said below, too...no "pause buttons"

Terry Flood June 29, 2021 at 3:48 PM Wise words indeed, Milt, but might I add these words to your title... ‘Or Pause Buttons.’ ;-) Terry L Milton Hankins June 29, 2021 at 6:44 PM Thanks for your thoughts, Terry. I think I know what you mean.

Evelyn Judy Buehler June 28, 2021 at 9:55 PM True and wise words comprise this masterfully written poem. The rhyming is very pleasing, too. Best wishes, Evelyn L Milton Hankins June 29, 2021 at 8:26 AM Thank you, Evelyn, for your complimentary comment. Best wishes to you, too.
