Teaching Your Child, How Hard Was It Poem by James McLain

Your child looks up to you, frantic
and searching.
With every other sixth child could it
be autism, or ADHD or,
not with a dumb look or a blank stare but
with eye's that constantly change that look out.
Have you taken the time from your busy lives
to teach them how to ask a question.
Perspectives and different points of views unlike
yours that are changing, effecting the lives of
other's that live near around you?
Are you able to discern a rare opportunity, that do
not come often to a child that stands out?
Or do you shut that opportunity out because of
the way you were raised and now think?
Facts always change, before the Kepler telescope
your position was that we were alone!
Excite your child's mind teach them to learn
in a way where,
such controversial issues are nothing but play.
Thus becoming more than you are worth.
