Excerpt from the poem "Being a Parent"
Being a parent teaches you how to treat your own;
How you grieved your parents with things they didn’t condone.
You see how much it means now to do gestures of kindness;
Your love for your child, Overpowers the bad – love can cause blindness.
So now you can love your parents the way that you’re supposed to;
Even after mistakes they’ve made because you realize they were fallible too.
Now that you see how difficult it is and the challenges your parents went through;
I would hope that you forgive them, just like your kids may need to forgive you.
