PARENTS WE DON'T CHOOSE

[The kurlman]

POEM #305

PARENTS WE DON'T CHOOSE
Parents we don't choose,
Never want to lose.
Always there for us,
Showing love a plus.
Holding us when frighten,
Our bonding love heighten!
Children live through parents eyes,
Parents worst fear are good byes.
We may grow bright and tall,
Still remain young and small.
Advice and love they will give,
As they hope we will live.
Forever free of any fear,
Without shedding a tear.
Reality, parents will leave,
Children to cry and grieve!
Baby born, life will begin,
The cycle starts over again!
Parents we don't choose,
We never want to lose!

Woke up this morning, parents and children were on my mind! These are the words that ended up on paper. I hope you like them! The kurlman

Very nice. You wrote this on my fathers birthday so that brings the parent thing home even more for me.

Oh my god, so incredible poem! Thank you so much for that! I'm crying. Because I remembered my parents and how beautiful they are. You know, it seems that they have been together all their lives. They love each other so much. But then my future husband took me from them, and we rarely began to communicate with them. It was very difficult for me because I couldn't see them, the only option for our communication was the telephone. Later, my husband began to offend and humiliate me. I didn't understand why my family wasn't as perfect as that of my parents, and it seemed to me that I needed to have patience and everything would pass. But it only got worse. I didn’t say anything to mom, I said that everything is in order. And then she woke up one morning, realized that she could no longer continue this way, file for divorce papers, and returned to her parents. I don't regret it at all. I love them, and it's an honor to take care of them.

Very strong words. Indeed, we don't choose our parents, and that's a shame. I sometimes have a hard time with them, my mom is still good, but I can't get along with my dad. I hired a nurse for my mom and my dad took offense. He is ready to take care of her himself, but he doesn't know how to give injections and IVs. Mom after covid, and I work day and night in the hospital (I pulled her out of the other side of the world myself). Dad says my caregivers would kill her, but he's not ready to take care of her himself. There is a woman from homecareassistance.com who knows her job very well. Dad constantly scolds her, tries to catch her at something, gets in the way. Maybe they should send him to a nursing home.

Parents choose the school their child attends. Parents choose the dentist, doctor and therapist that their child sees. Parents choose to send their child to a religious or secular school. Parents do not choose how much money to spend on their children. Visit this https://masterbundles.com/templates/...rpoint/family/ site for best choices. Parents do not choose whether their children will attend college or trade school. Parents do not choose whether or not to vaccinate their children against life-threatening illnesses like polio and measles.
