PARENTING
Freedom is not
an eagle gliding
It is not release from bars, or chains
It has nothing to do with space
or confinement
The key
To unlock my liberty
Is your forgiveness
For the times
I was not
who you needed me to be
For the choices I made
Or failed to make
Which altered your course
From a brighter destination
and I don’t think your “It’s OK”
can lighten the burden
of my responsibility
Another great poem – raw talent and raw truth. If its personal and for what its worth, I think you did alright – more than alright 🙂
Thank you Dianne, ah with the older 2 I have so many regrets
Parenting is hard hey… often we have to forgive ourselves as well…
There’s great truth in that Heather
