Graham Bentley Poet Free verse

Learning

We bought books.so many
We read pages by the thousand
We asked friends, help groups
We camped in libraries
We panicked, we worried
We were overwhelmed
No understanding, no experience
We were so lost in this new world
Then it happened, and later came
We discovered to be parents
You write your own learning

Couples just do the best they can to raise their children. Enjoy yur day my friend. Darlene De Beaulieu August 12, 2021 at 11:49 AM Hello Graham, oh i am so sorry to hear that you lost your partner. How long have you been a widower? I just wondering. For me it is 5 years. I have no children. You have good memories of your children growing up. Enjoy your day my friend. .
