growing pains
when kids grow: their emotions go high and low: the growing pains they go through: they effect the parents too: teenagers are like a roller coaster up and down: one minute so happy, the next deep with a frown: as a parent you try your best: but whatever you say or do your teens will detest: respect seems to go out the door: teenagers act like they care no more; tense times a parent goes through: constantly they are thinking what to say and do: finally no more words are said: you get up pass each other,then go to bed: its a bad feeling when to your own kids you dont talk: they just get up and away they walk: a teenager all of the sudden they want to be all grown: but as a parent be sure to them,you let your feelings known: when you feel their respect is lost: a parents emotions feel so tossed: you remember your teen as a baby so small: now tall,they act as they know it all: it comes to a point that no words you say: seems no matter anyway: they listen not: when for you no respect they got: treat them as an adult as they think they are: then really watch them and see which way they go and how far: one moment a teen will act so grown,and the next moment as a child: they go from so wild,to being quite mild: the growing pains from a child to a teen: is the greatest challenge as a parent i have seen: i raised my teens the best i knew how: and i will do my best with them even now: when they were small they would listen more: they wouldnt storm away and in your face slam the door: a parent feels as a rollar coaster up and down: they cant help but to wear a frown: but through it all ya gotta smile and say: just do your best anyway: the growing pains they will come to pass: this aggravation will not always last: the reason im taking this all so bad: i never let my parents down when i was a lad: respect to my mom and dad i always gave: i still miss my dad 16 years gone in his grave: i feel so betrayed now by my two teens: this has been to me a bad dream: i will try to pick myself up from this low: and in my life again shine and glow.: jdj 11-21-1996:
