Stepping forward

BusyB

When life seems like a bed of roses
When family rifts can be volatile
When harsh words are spoken
Those roses wither and die

When plants thrive and grow
Your children have children of their own
How your relationship with them changes
Taking you in different directions

As walking on eggshells
All prickly underfoot
As our friendship evolves
Stepping carefully into the unknown

    Children can be like that but the true love between parents and children is always there.
