Children are Hard to Come by (A Poem for Future Parents)
To a child
spoiled by wealth
in the form
of siblings
or the youth
wondering
if their purpose
is parenthood
(and I hope it is)
Do not think
it is an option
like a dish
on a menu list
Half the time
you don’t try
and still get
a surprise
Half the time
you try hard
....and for no
sweet surprise
spoiled by wealth
in the form
of siblings
or the youth
wondering
if their purpose
is parenthood
(and I hope it is)
Do not think
it is an option
like a dish
on a menu list
Half the time
you don’t try
and still get
a surprise
Half the time
you try hard
....and for no
sweet surprise

You get what you get because if you spoil the child too much he might be to high and mighty. If you are an ass to the child he might be disrespectful, got to find a place in the middle. Keep on writing my goddess.
