We may want for
Our kids
The best
We may want for
Our Kids
To erase
All our wrong choices
We may want for
Our kids
Better jobs
And greater dreams
But we can’t make them be
Who they are not
We can’t make them change
So they can fit
In the perfect picture
We built
To keep us sane
We can’t ask them to be
Us
Before our world collapsed
Because of our regrets
We can only wish
For them
To find their truth
Bliss & Kiss 
Amen! Beautifully written.

I agree with you Marie, each child has his own individuality, which needs to be respected, admired and nurtured. Our role is to give them the best and let them bloom.

Yes, so true. It’s easy to forget that we need to encourage them to make their own mistakes and choices. Instead of making them something they’re not because of our own history. Beautiful poem, Marie! I so admire your talent with words.

Never easy to find the balance between what we want and who they are.
But trully we need to encourage and support them. Yes.
Take care
