good one;!
a single act of spite can tear a life apart, whole an act of kindness can restore faith to a broken heart.

Isn\'t it awful to hit a creature..... I hit a deer once but he deflected off the car and ran off - I\'ll never know if he was hurt.....

Knock knock
Jhe said:

\"We are all speaking our truths
To my children, never stop speaking yours.\"

better said
than left
to twist love
into bitter regret

as long as he sees you\'re trying, he\'ll try too. just don\'t expect more from him than he can expect from you...
and the love will have a chance to win through

His and hers
Jhe said:

this is a timeless piece of writing ~
men and women have always had fears and needs that made us feel vulnerable /made us try to appear stronger than we felt; made us defensive / insensitive...
and having hormones doesn\'t help!

but denial,
that\'s the worst self-defence
in fact it makes zero sense
as it prevents change...

then again, worrying about how much (/ how little) time we have can make us deranged!

there\'s just not enough love
to go around
to keep everybody safe
and each mind sound...

keep doling out that love!

Shoulder exercises
Jhe said:

hopefully, with you as their dad,
they will come to appreciate that
what passes for culture
ain\'\'t all it\'s hyped up to be,
and will find relief
in the company of friends
and their openly loving family

Thank you all for reminding me
Jhe said:

\"As I read your joys, sorrow or pain
I can see where I\'ve come from
I can see where I may be stuck again\"

marvelous.

inspiring eachother
to reflect, relate, regain
the composure that
gets whittled away by pain...
it\'s all love
of which, as they say,
there\'s just too little of;

very nice write

Spot on...
ā€œA rhyme a day makes everything okayā€!
It certainly does!

As LG knows, I too love Dr. Seuss! His books are still on my book shelf! I read them to my children and used them as a teaching tool when I taught elementary school! Seussfabulous!šŸ˜ƒ

Your pen is golden! An extraordinarily poignant write!
I love every single word...
and the pic is phenomenal!

ā€œSo come take a leaf or a pew on a rock
Whatever the weather...ā€

I would take a leaf from that tree anytime!

Meaningful and thought provoking. Great post! I think a lot of parents ask themselves these same questions.

To the end. From the spark of life
Goldfinch60 said:

Such a searching write with some searching questions of yourself but you seem to be answering them and are finding a way into your better future. Stay strong and look towards the the light.

To the end. From the spark of life
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Dan,
Youā€™re asking yourself many questions. By just stating, ā€œIs the connection stronger than before
As to make the same mistake means I learned nothing from my first fallā€...

It is evident that intuitively you have learned from before. You have understood that...
ā€œSometimes you have to understand when letting go is better than holding onā€.

Youā€™ve asked yourself many questions. It seems to me youā€™re answering them.
THAT IS POSITIVITY!

Youā€™re learning as youā€™re growing along with your children. You are ā€œBreaking this cycle from generationsā€ ā€œ...the plan is the plan and what will be will beā€!

Your final words are so true...
ā€œ...this isnā€™t all backwards, itā€™s right from the start...for the inner calling for us all is peace on this earth.ā€

And to be at peace with ourselves!

You have understood the plan!
...PROCEED...

~Laura~
