Robin Davis Poet Rhyme

Push and Shove Leads To Tough Love

There's so much to
figure out
I can't talk or even
shout
The way you've
changed is so
surprising
It's causing a huge
uprising
I tried to teach you
right from wrong
And how to be really
strong
Never letting the
peer pressure
Make you feel any
lesser
But this person
you've become
Can not be changed
or undone
Lying, cheating,
alcohol
Drugs,
robbing--you've done
it all
Far from the way you
were taught
How did you become
so caught
And involved in such
nonsense
It's becoming way to
tense
For me to handle
anymore
Locks are changed on
all the doors
No more teen drama
will enter
Now tough love will
be the center
Of your days until
you see
How much better you
can be
Returning back to
who I raised
Getting lots of love
and praise
Letting go of all
the feelings
That turned you into
a demon
I'll be thrilled the
day that you
Return to me honest
and true

Robert Nehls July 22, 2014 at 5:17 PM Tough times when a teen enters the rebellious stage. Many ways to be pulled and many avenues to take. All you can hope for is their safe return. Never blame yourself. Our children will make their own decisions. Tough love is hard but sometimes necessary. God bless you , my friend.... Robert.
