Self Centered Parenting

Retire. Retry. Redo.                                                                                         Rewind. Recreate. Recraft.

Life's simply a journey, from beginning to end.

Time can be a weapon, time can be a friend.   

Putting in time doing what others tell you to do . 

To earn time for what you want, it's true!

Grandkids in the picture? 

Kids live far away?                 

Visits “on screen” give moments on occasional days.                        

They grow older and we feel drawn to connect.              

What did you fill their minds with that’s so incorrect?          

You can’t control them forever. False info will collapse.                         

With minds of their own they'll see and they'll ask.


Grandparents abused by those who gained so much.

Fortunately have others to love and to touch.


Two are out, three more to go.

Each day they become, soon they will know.   


When will YOU grow up, how old will you be?

Will I still be here or will he and will she? 


Give it a chance. Give it your all!                               

Whatever you do, try never to “fall”.                


They hold you above when you've stood down below.     

How will they react when they truly know?      


Your day is coming and your time is near.   

What you've done unto others will bite you in the rear.


Time waits for no one, especially me.    

I’ll extend my hand, my heart and let’s see --

If each has the courage to connect with -- me.


One by one they grow older each day.                                                

Your influence and control wanes in so many ways.                   


It’s not being stubborn, it’s truth taking too long:                       

False accusations, actions meant to wrong.                                 


You both stand in the darkness embracing its call.                              

Sadly unable to see yourself fall.                                                       


You lit fires and sewed seeds. . .                                                     

Never aware of the weeds.                                                             


We’ll create a lifeline.We’ll somehow connect.                                 


You can’t control them forever, as much as you try.                   

And if you do succeed, one belief still applies:                                   


We’ll meet in due time, on the other side.
