Parenting is the responsibility
to fall in love with a human
so small, so helpless,
so vulnerable, who needs us so badly
And to stay in love
when they are big
and scary
and their moods are dark clouds
that threaten to storm
(and often do)
To choose love
when we feel the least appreciated
the least needed
the least seen
Because you must know
that they don’t need you any less
they just need you differently
But they will need you forever and forever
even when you’re gone
So parenting is the responsibility
to choose love
every day
no matter what
If you need parenting support, just reach out
