What’s your mindset
As your children grow?
When’s it time
For the swing set to go?
Memories pop out,
Within the routine.
Just as hope for their future
Comes-from that which you’ve seen.
Finding space for ourselves,
While connected with all;
Stepping away,
While minding the call;
The call to be there;
To-help show-them the-way;
We’re guarding our children,
While letting them play.
We come back to presence
Amidst the-waves of perspective.
Juggling their freedom,
While being corrective.
Keen to serve.
Setting the stage
Imparting knowledge
Of joy and of rage.
Responsibility
To protect and to guard
From others and self,
Knowing life can be hard.
So now, take a deep breath.
Keep it simple. Be true.
Have faith in the Lord.
Life is good as are you.
