[hometext] => my first poem ever... enjoy!!!
[bodytext] => Our children, do we love them, of course we do!
We nurture them from the moment they enter our lives We sacrifice ourselves to provide for them To love them To protect them To educate them To honour and respect them Our children, do they return the same love The same respect The same qualities we have tried to instil in them? Some of us may answer yes, others may not! I choose to answer my children do not! So why do we try? Our children are our responsibility Their ages from birth, childhood, teenagers to adulthood certainly play havoc Havoc within their bodies and minds Total confusion you might say! Did we not suffer within? Of course we did! Did we respect our parents or love ones, yes we did! Did our parents bring us up in a different world, yes they did! BUT Does that give the rights for the children of today to dis-respect us? NO, I dare say! So why do we try? We love them, that’s why!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
