I'm on a bit of a kick...

a writing kick that is :) After having had writers block for so many months, it feels great to finally have something to say and means to say it with. With that being said, I'm going to share a poem that is fully and entirely meant to be read. (I think I need to hit up an open mic soon...)

Dear mothers and fathers

Do you know your children?

Who are your sons and daughters,

Do you know their dreams and goals?

Or do you walk blindly

Turned from their hearts,

Blocked from their lives?

Glance down the path ahead of them,

Who’s paving their way?

Are they pushing the stones,

Making the road their own

Or are you ahead of them,

Dictating every turn?

Dear mothers and fathers –

Adjust your focus,

This chance is theirs.

Let them be true to their desires.

Dear mothers and fathers –

This is for your sons and daughters.
