my children hardly listen
what's their life instore
I give them a direction
for them to obey
but with wandering minds
and distant eyes
they forget I'm their mum today
not allowed to spank or shout
it's hard to be a parent
when their fathers not about
I'm the one left holding the strings
somehow they are tangled
the puppets are in the hands
of some other human beings
I feel usless and bad
why cant my children
obey their parents
like I once had! [comments] => 2 [counter] => 174 [topic] => 21 [informant] => inoc [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

Testify Darlin !!! I see so much of the same thing every where. My kids have been brought up with a combination of their parents past. It is so different than when I was younger. As a step-father, that can certainly come into play as well. I certainly hope things have gotten better witth time.
A wonderful write. Thank you. I thought it was just me with that problem.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
