Parents and Children

Our parents introduce us,

From the moment of our birth,

To their values and we learn from them

What everything is worth.

 

We grow up and observe the ways

They deal with joy or strife

And tuck this knowledge in our minds

For later on in life.

 

In time, we leave the nest behind

And follow our own trail,

Which leads us to a place where

Not all lessons will prevail.

 

We may reject the models that

Are those our parents taught

And sometimes quite the opposite

Will be the ones we’ve sought.

 

Most parents do the best they can,

But it’s a short-term role

And as their children grow, those lives

Are out of their control.
