In the absence of knowledge

Updated: Apr 24, 2023

no manual

no guidebook

lots of anecdotes

lots of opinions

one aim

one desire

to get it right

to do it better

comes from a place

called the heart

uncontrollable love

can cause a disaster

presume expect

I know not which

but your actions

are totally selfless

ignorant or blind

people spin lies

in little angels eyes

you’re the bees knees


in adulthood

without deference

you’re condemned

labelled unimportant

no manual

no guidebook

on how to be

the perfect parent.
