Poetic Verses

To Fish

There is not joy so abundant in the eyes of a parent
Is that of seeing their children live lives that are independent?
Then there are those who instead of heading to the periphery          
Think that the only good thing is to help the out financially

Some of those parent who own small businesses and are entrepreneurs
And over time accumulate assets that made the millionaires
Getting there too by exercising actions of being prudent and frugal
But did not instill the discipline as the children become wasteful

Let us take a look at an offspring for example a daughter
Who followed her parents' biddings to the very letter?
Then she may marry a man with little or no ambition
So he gets employment in the company and got an inflated position

That guy then become gratuitous for his fortunate situation
So he may feel in his mind that he has some form of obligation
Then as time progresses there is the unfolding of the situation
Like lack of respect a chauffeur and jobs labeled for a handyman

So parent you can protect children from diseases by they getting and inoculation
There are some aspects the is better served by discipline and education
But from those many challenges of life and those complications caused by changes
Providing that financial aid would be tantamount to a temporary bandage

There was this observation of a cat with her maturing kittens
She brought to them little creatures to get certain skill sharpen
And from that moment when she considered them to be weaned
She began to shoo them away so that they can for themselves fend

Therefore parents there is nothing wrong with loving your children
And of course there is also that duty be there to support them
But when they are with you in the boat sailing across life's ocean
They should be allowed to catch fish all by their own actions
