Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

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

Quoth Theraven May 31, 2021 at 2:57 PM 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 Gershon Wolf June 1, 2021 at 8:05 PM I just can't imagine being raised by a nanny/governess or hiring one to raise my kids. ~ Homebody

Rico Leffanta May 31, 2021 at 11:26 AM Mums & dads who leave child-rearing to the "experts" deserve the result. Gershon Wolf June 1, 2021 at 8:05 PM Methinks you are right. What greater joy can there be than raising a child?! --- Did I really write that?! ~ Diaper-changer
