Every Last Wish Granted

Pity the poor orphan born to wealth obscene Given over to a nanny until she is a teen Her every last wish granted all except that special one to spend an hour with mom and dad under God's darkling sun

Sadly what we all want is more mom and dad time. Some of us do not realize it until it is too late.

Gershon, Gifts that come with a price. Though many would line up to take her place at this table. Perhaps to find that special love from family missed; one that remains priceless. Well penned. -Richard

I just can't imagine being raised by a nanny/governess or hiring one to raise my kids. ~ Homebody

Mums & dads who leave child-rearing to the "experts" deserve the result.

Actually, money doesn't solve anything, except for mechanical-type repairs, doctor bills, tuition, insurance bills --- hmm. I take that back. lol. Thanks, Kim.
