Parents

[merelhoekstra]

Otto Frank once said;
''Parents really do not know their kids''
Unfortunately,
I think he is right
That man

As a kid,
your happiest times
are pointed out
As growing older,
you realize that nothing is
so wonderful and little
as you imagined it to be

Parents do not want to listen,
they are just pretending
Looking on the highway,
trying not to fall

Once a parent said to me;
''I do not need you,
but you need me.''
Unfortunately,
I think that is true

I wonder,
Do parents stop caring
when children are not
children anymore?

If we are not all able to grow up
We would still read the books -
our daddy used to
read out loud for us

We would still have our cloudless minds
Time passing by was not
that fascinating at all
It was more about the living in the time
Instead of following
endless lines to a dead-end-street

Otto Frank once said;
''Parents really do not know their kids''
Unfortunately, I think that is true

But I have got this theory
Where I truly believe in;
Parents cannot stop looking
as their children growing older
They cannot say ''Take care''
And walking away because
it is not their case anymore

That is the biggest mistake as an adult:
for taken your child as granted
and then letting it die
It is almost as wrecking
and as a sign of sin
To shoot a mockingbird
right in the blooding eye.
