A Parent Of A Teen Poem by Audrey Heller

Being a parent of a teen, isn't
an easy chore! They can be
quite argumentative and think
they know the score. It's just
a phase they go through, in
their growing up years. All we
can do is hope and pray, the
light of dawn appears! When
that day should come about,
it's going to take us by
surprise. Not only will we see
the change, but look at them,
through different eyes! No
longer moody. No longer
contrite. It will be a miracle,
that happened, over night.
Somehow, it will be worth,
the good and the bad. All
the tension is gone. And I,
can absolutely attest, it gets
better, from here on!
