About Parenting

For gentle is the spirit of parents That listens intuitively to a child’s echo, An accompaniment from their breaths Speaking only purity of thought-- Without deceit or adult-like fakery: like so, Night birds croon in deep esteem, When moonlight leads their youngster home… till Burst of morning glistens on a child, Utterly joyous and fed with familial love While heaven bows back to man and wife, Humming tunes of praise for safe journeys… A couple devoted, guiding their child’s essence That makes his world ever brave and authentic. Silent One's Parenthood Contest 10/18/2017

This is a beautiful write my friend, such a loving poem of the tenderness between children and their parents! "Night birds croon in deep esteem.../...A couple devoted, guiding their child's essence" gloriously written here Nette, I just loved those lines, they portray the caring nature of parenting with their child! You have entered a quality piece for this contest, I don't know how SO will not place you high! What a grandiose write, Great work!!
