Hopeful

I sometimes want to cry
And I always wonder why
But now I know the grief you felt
When words I used left a deep, red welt
I'm hoping that these days will pass
That the future will be just green, green, grass
With a relationship better built on trust
Instead of a broken thing all covered in rust
A healthy bond between parent and child
A sincere hope that you'll turn out mild

Influence

Boy, you're just growing up so fast

Childhood, we thought, was going to last

But boys and looks are now your thing

Texting, replacing the telephone's ring

We hoped to have you just a while longer

To mold & guide you, to make you stronger

But the world, it seems, had other plans

It's the media & friends now holding your hands

Calories

Sugary things every where
Expanding waistbands too
In this world of plenty
What are we to do?

Talk to us

Trying to get through to your heart
Letting you know this is not a good start
Finding your way is a must, we know
But baby steps is the way to go
Don't cut us out just yet we ask
It makes parenting a harder task

Snow Melt

The melt has begun

The fault of everyone

We cannot escape

A pretty bleak fate

Unless we react

To the glaring fact

We are to blame

For this end game

Burst of fun

Let the words roll off your tongue
A merry dance of letters and rum
A fine tuned jig of quips and quotes
That's all I have, so that's all she wrote!

Silver-tongue

Too many lovers is your downfall
Too little heart is what makes you small
Having a child to further your mission
It the very height of callous ambition
No virtue do you have anymore
In fact, most would consider you a wh*re

Lake rhyme

A peaceful view
With nothing to do
Is nothing new
But still true blue

Phone groan

A brighter day now that we know
Unlocking a phone is no way to go
Too much trouble and too much worry
Over something not worth the hurry
Let's take our time to find the one
That will be a better bundle of fun

Angry

Gone the smiles and laughter too
Scowl and burn is all you do
Never happy anymore
And yet you keep on wanting more
It's getting hard to absorb it all
It's slowly building a dense wall
