Life

Ev’ry child born soon grows to taste the good and bad of life, and whether fortune smiles on him or her – ev’ry child soon learns that obligations likely follow. ‘Tis likely they will take a husband or a wife. On offspring they oft times pin their dreams unrealized. The world still turns. Feb 22, 2020 for charles messina's Poe-Etic Verse Poetry Contest

It is sometimes difficult to let our children choose their own path, especially when we see talent of what they could become. You convey this so beautifully in this poem Andrea. xxoo

It's a Poesie! I like it a lot; says so much about transferring our unfulfilled hopes onto our children. Short and pointed. GL in Charlie's contest.

Yes, in some ways we are allowed to shape our kids but we must not squash their own dreams.

He does have a lighters side although he will always be the dark mysterious poet. He certainly lead a turbulent life. Good luck. Tom

It is a solid idea, and makes enormous sense as we stand back and see it happen over and over again. Nice one.
