A parent's love must be that which
helps a flower stand....
stand in her own delight.
Life is hard. Gale winds blow.
A parent must never add his breath to winds that challenge,
winds that topple.
Watch your words, Parent, that they not
join the noise of winds
that de-petal.
Make sure you sing a tune that can be heard
in Nature's lulls.
A song so tuneful it replays in mind
For when the Gale grows quiet, this inner sun is needed
that drenched flowers find the heart
to open.......glisten.............shine.
