Sometimes Its Hard Not To Wonder
Sometimes its hard not to wonder what life your child might lead
youve taught them everything they know but it was there choice to listen.
It broke your heart when there was a problem they had to deal with alone or they didnt ask you for help anymore to make chocolate chip cookies
you feel useless as a parent when your kid doesnt need you
and sometimes its hard not to wonder what life your kid might lead
a simple thought that even the best parents ponder is will they be good or bad
will they help you at the grocery store
or kick and scream on the floor in front of prejudice shoppers
will they be successful or counterproductive
will you wave at them when your ordering your hamburger at mcdonalds
or will they be the ones saying we found you a new kidney
will you be a grandfather or grandmother someday watching your grandchildren do the cutest little things
or will your child even produce kids at all. Will they be sick as we know all children do
but will they be really sick something that doesnt just require
hot stew and cough syrup to get better trust youve taught them
well they know all they know because of you and greater forces at
play and because of that theyll be okay
