Great Expectations
by Natasha Call

Birth. Front seat on the roller coaster of life
Children’s innocence destroyed prematurely
Waking hours full of separation and strife
Parents away to make their existence pearly

Adult responsibilities no later than age three
Days filled with strangers tying their laces
No. For children the tremulous ride isn’t free
Expecting all the more of their parents’ faces

What do children unfortunately learn to expect?
A bumpy ride, no explanation and gifts to make up
What should children have confidence to expect?
Together time. Parents never give their seat up

Joy. A ride parents and children greatly appreciate
Enhancing positive success of the next generation
The miracle of creation. Parents it isn’t too late
Together you’re creating the outcome of a nation
