Parent Love
by Shelby M. Forrest A parentıs love is an innate love That appears at the time of a birth. No measurement yet has been designed To determine its value and worth. Through tender years, into adulthood, Giving nurture with deep love and care, Making certain the needs of growth are met, A responsible parent is there. Though freely given, a parentıs love At times may seem unrequited. When a child mistakes that love for control Relationships often are blighted. Sometimes freely giving of assistance and love Brings not the intended contentment, And a lack of appreciation may turn Into a bitter resentment. Each child is a free and an uncontrolled soul. No two of them ever the same. So when things goes wrong, itıs hard to know Just who or what is there to blame. So what is the answer, just what can be done? I have not the wisdom to say. Just keep on the giving of unselfish love (And it might help a wee bit to pray). |
