Teenagers

Touchy, moody beings,
Trying to be grown up.
Testing parents' limits,
Trapped in hormonal flux,
Turmoil at the ready,
Trust issues do abound.
Treat with love and patience.

Gershon Wolf Date: 8/4/2019 3:53:00 PM The last line is the key: Love and patience. If only I had read this a long time ago. Sage advice, Kim!! :) gw Login to Reply Kim Merryman Date: 8/5/2019 2:11:00 PM Yeah, I wasn't so patient with my teens, but they still turned out well. Thanks for stopping by, Gershon!

Caren Krutsinger Date: 8/3/2019 4:49:00 AM "trapped in hormonal flux" - exactly right, and it seems pre-teenagers are right there with them, and pre-teenagers are getting younger and younger! Enjoyed this one, Kim! Login to Reply Kim Merryman Date: 8/5/2019 2:07:00 PM Thank you, Caren! I have a teenage granddaughter and my grandson is preteen. My son has some interesting days ahead of him.
