Dust Settles (For Angela) Poem by Danny Draper

Dust settles on another argument Parental imposition for own good Sounds all too familiar. I did the same thing when young. Kids simply don’t understand the awesome task of responsibility on the parents’ part, who must give account. And that parenting is a job - an incredible job. Kids don’t understand that being older and more experienced, parents are generally wiser. And they just don’t get it that their parents genuinely love and seek to protect them, though it seems more like they [the parents] are imposing. Excellent job Danny. Thanks for sharing this deeply sentimental, private moment. And the best to you and your daughter.

A really wonderful piece of private moments stored and shared. Why is it that even when we know we are right(our little souls) make us feel guilty and hang in our heads even whilst they are sound asleep. Bravo for a lovely write. Karen

sounds like a teenage- parent problem..................same story everywhere................but defiance and retort take the form of expressing their right for love instead of the baby hugs and kisses........ am I right?
