The Seasons of Parenthood
Cherry-stained lips drip sugared bliss on the boiling pavement
Wiped clean by Mothers who care
Empty bellies scream in retaliation
Ignored by fathers not there
College savings thoughtfully tucked away
By slaves who toil for years
Ragged backpacks, dingy sneakers
Schooldays muddled by tears
Snowy memories neath a sparkling spruce
Christmas lists fulfilled
Empty stockings, empty hearts
No hope for dreams to build
Happily-ever-after fairytales read
From dusty pages from which they are freed
Television educates
For children who cannot read

This is amazing. It tells how great things should be... but breaks down the truths behind the sad reality. :/
I enjoyed this greatly.
