This poem reaches back into the most precious of memories, memories which greatly overshadow the many sorrows experienced in life.

My 12-Year Old Knows It Best.

Learning to grow up.

Another poem by my grand daughter, "Animal Fairy"

This poem is about wishing things could change within a relationship to make it better.

As much as we don’t like the sound of it; somehow it echoes louder as if it’s laughing at our face.

Some people have the tendency to get upset over the smallest things. Some even have the cantankerous audacity to cause a scene just to get what they want, whether it’s faster service, an exchange for an item, or some pittance for what they consider justice for themselves. Such anger issues are childish to say the least. Being human grants people the capability to speak and act reasonably and with proper respect. Doesn’t it only seem natural that people should “grow up” when they grow up? The idea that “I’m always right and I should always get what I want” is an adolescent one. There is a saying from the Bible: “When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I acted like a child, I reasoned like a child, I thought like a child. When I became an adult, I put my childish ways behind me.” This adage can do wonders for an adult who embraces the fact that they should grow wiser as they grow older.

Has anyone noticed the amazing amount of people who haven’t moved out yet?

It’s might be time for our children to grow up.

A very short overview of childhood, from one parent’s perspective.
