M Nudelman Poet Free verse

Parent

Parent



Teaching, caring, moulding,
Child rearing responsibilities.
Commencing at birth,
No expiration date.

Occupation of utmost importance,
Reaps what you sew.
Compensation minimal,
Blood, sweat and tears.

An influencing role model,
Nurturing, compassionate, loving.
Encourages potential and direction,
Protects from harm's way.

Proud, dependable, consistent,
Never abandoning.
Every child has a parent,
Is every parent a mom or dad?
