Parenthood

Fun times give way to much larger themes.

When you were getting it on, you may not have seen.

Or perhaps you did if you were one to plan.

Maybe your lil bundle of joy was a purposeful command.

You knew so you went and away the shot was sent.

Now I bet some days you sigh and repent.

Though not most I'm sure, you more often adore.

You are happy your child is here and for what is in store.

But you know it won't be easy, and you'll have to be less sleazy.

You're a parent now and it isn't always breezy.

You've got mouths to feed and forget what you need.

Or at least get used to putting yourself last.

Your child will come first and for this, they needn't ask.

You wanna see them grow and you wanna see them shine.

Oh and you know you must invest the time, to nurture their mind.

Oh, it's all such a wonderous sight.

Watching them walk, teaching wrong from right.

Hearing them speak and laugh and even cry.

All of these emotions are such an epic ride.

So if your time comes, go on embrace it and thrive.

Just know, please remember you are giving way to new life.

It ain't always rosie, maybe not intentionally chosie.

Done well though and you will take great pride.

Build a strong foundation and to you, they will confide.

Then this power of love will raise you high above.

Plus someday they can turn it back to you.

Once you wiped them, one day they will wipe you too.

The circle of life, and the circle of love.

When you are with your child you know they're sent from above.

A beam of pure light like the pure silk dove.
