Disappointments
Life has disappointments
And they sometimes hurt like hell,
Though even minor let-downs
Can affect us for a spell.
Occasionally, we may feel
Another person’s pain
And if it’s someone close to us,
Forgetting is in vain.
In parenthood (and grand- as well)
We learn we can’t protect
Our progeny from others
Who belittle or reject.
The only thing that we can do
When things in life get tough
Is reinforce our love and hope
That it will be enough.
