Father-Son

dean langmuir

Hormones demonstrating

the seek of the mind

reminiscent of my own

Was my Son's

at the age

of questioning

 

With,a Jolt

the enquiries

refreshed aspirations

with each breath

I took

As,I Focused,on mellowing

his puberty.

 

Knowing flaws

enshrined in Love

Will pass

their best.

 

As a Father

if,he doesn't prick me.

I'll feel

I have failed.

 

We need to raise

individual souls

who can flourish

with the nourishment

of being themselves.

    That tension and balance when we have teenage children, with this I can relate. That they are enabled to thrive as their unique selves is a cherished goal and challenge. A very real poem. Thanks for sharing. /Rik.
