Parenting

When you make your children strong

It may come back to bite you the times you are wrong

They learn how you live and hear what you teach

Our practice better be true before what we preach

Reality is not always apparent even as a loving parent

Children are to be readied to be sent 

By their own bent with their own scent.

Compressed Stress

Projects personal dissatisfaction as the dominant subject.

Contradiction

It makes me grow or forget what I know.

Stillness

It’s more than silence. It’s saying less.

Yesterday vs Jester Day

If past knowledge is hidden

We joke about the forbidden 

Yesterday becomes jester day

What we court is of the sort 

The important is cut short

Devaluing work, overworking play 

The new, not what I knew, 

Attempts to override what I say.

My Girl

My Girl

It's at the age of 13 when I see

the one who is to marry me.

Was this a prophesy?

Something foretold to come to pass

that through anything would continue to last?

She was the best looking in our class

but her inward beauty is what holds me fast.

Her work in the home is beyond 1st class.

It's the Ritz, Lago Mar both made into one,

what without her could not be done.

She can take invisible lemons

cutting them squarely into,

a talent in the home I'm foreign to.

Her overlooking of "Male Refrigerator Blindness"

is just more evidence of her "sweetness and kindness".

Therefore no fear exists when I hunger and thirst

because My Lord gave me His girl of Proverbs, the 31st.

Ephesians 3:12

The certainty of a sleepwalker but not asleep.

Difficulty

I’ve had and I’ve learned to move along with it and get along with it.

Respectable Excuses

We blame by justifying our weaknesses due to consequences caused by misuse of our strengths.

Complicating

The unnecessary with the essential.
