Adjusting to Life's Changes with Hope… Through Poetry, Haiku, and Commentary
as parents we are charged
to show and teach
our children
how to live
how to give
how to serve
how to love
how to forgive
how to win
how to lose
and
how to die
looking back I feel that
I failed more than I
succeeded but
did the best
I could
before you know
it there is more
time behind
you than
ahead of
you
looking forward
seven down
and one
to go
it happened quickly
I sneezed like my father more
like him than I like
there is life on both
sides of the window
is another lie
the little boy didn’t
believe it because
no one saw what he
saw through the window
he saw fear and pain
on both sides of
the window
no one could hear
him or see him on
his side of the window
