Lessons Learnt

Looks like this site is becoming a haven for poets, which I think is great. I've been a little busy but I opped in quickly to post this.

There was a time when I was young
With no real worries under this sun
Off to school and I would complain
Doing chores at home such a pain

Yet there was always food on the table
Parents would hug me when they were able
If there was a problem, dad was there
Always willing to talk, he’d pull up a chair

I would grow older, and wiser too
I would learn lessons that I did pursue
No longer was life so worry free
If only I saw what life had in store for me

I would have listened to my teachers more
And the lessons from my parents would not bore
I pray that I can pass on what I know
So those who follow get less of a blow.

An interesting comment. One wonders how close to the fence they would stand.

I like your poem, Sire

Although you may have had some hard knocks in life, at least you had involved parents. I think it's why you turned out. And you know Sire, your kids will discover in their late 20's, how really smart their dad has become.
