[bodytext] => I sat down to write you a letter Hoping it would make everything better All I accomplished was to sit and cry Yet, I wrote, don't know why For parents, there are no written rules No training, no guidance, no schools Most tackle the task with good intention Nature meant well with this parent invention I was so excited when we created you My head filled quickly with what to do Envisioning what would be in your future Writing your story as if I was the author Seems I went too far in the story line Nothing hoped for turned out so fine Sometimes parents raise too high life's bar Expect too much, carry it too far Children shouldn't have to live up to dreams Life and fate have their own set of schemes Our parents, their parents, all had a plan So it has been since the beginning of man As parents, we forgot the one basic truth You are an individual, human, our youth Our job is to pass on dreams, hope, ideals Your job is to be what your future reveals These words I write help me understand The answer flows quietly from my hand It's very simple; my heart it disarms Life is the child you cradle in your arms [comments] => 1 [counter] => 133 [topic] => 48 [informant] => dvtpdw [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
