What?! Parenting Is A Mirror?!
mirror mirror on the wall
who’s the best parent
of them all?
not you dear master
not you I fear
till you muster
the courage to face
who you are
mirror mirror in my hand
just what do you mean
I don’t understand
no one is, no
no one can ever be
it’s like asking if you’re
the “best me’ “
there’s simply so such thing
mirror mirror on the floor
explain yourself and
tell me more
parenting is me
your mirror you see
looking back atchya
showing your
inadequacies
but before you get upset
take heart
you’re really discovering more
of yourself on this job
it’s the only one in the world
that reveals your truth
the only job in the world
that’s made to reveal
YOU!
mirror mirror out the door
I don’t wanna hear it
tell me no more!
Right on. Thankfully, if you pay attention, that mirror will continue to reflect and teach as you and the family navigate life together. It’s seldom easy, but it is an adventure to savor together. The best is yet to come – together.
ouch… i guess it is time to get back to calm
