Pat Adams Poet Acrostic

Stages of Life

(An Acrostic)

Sweet baby but helpless alone
Teen years were a trial
Adult enough to leave home
Good advice in denial

Everyone learns the hard way
So sure they know what to do
Only chance for retribution
For you to see what they go through

Life is good with their baby
I see there's trouble with their teen
Face it dear they have to leave
Even though your counsel they demean

Dale Gregory Cozart August 29, 2017 at 4:30 PM You are right. However, if mom and dad can't speak to the child without a condescending lecture instead of talking to them as a wiser friend, then they have no one to blame but themselves. Kids are people, not possessions and certainly not slaves. Just speaking from experience as having once been a child in a home where children were not valued. Pat Adams August 29, 2017 at 10:01 PM That's very true. However there's a lot to be learned by experience that could be used but quite often is not! I knew very little about my parents experiences and so had to learn things on my own. Did my poem sound like a condescending lecture?? Guess I hit a soft spot there, sorry.(I was just trying to make the acrostic part of it work)
