To All Frustrated Parents of Teens
The 14 year old mind
Is a strange, wondrous thing;
No one can account
For the thoughts which it springs.
One moment high fashion
Has it enthralled;
The next, finding rations
Puts flights to all else.
It has not a filter,
At best, one too late;
Arguments it adores
Much too much to forsake.
It wades only in shallows,
Concerns chill it not,
Yet strong loves wells deepen,
As do new, wondering thoughts.
When its parents despair
Through long suffering in vain
That wisdom shall ever
Elude this young brain,
A small touch on their shoulder,
A hug in the mall,
A smile on a cold day,
A kindness, too small
To affect fates of nations,
But which heartens those close,
A keen observation that
Will pierce other’s boasts,
Reminds family present
That hope is not lost.
This mind will grow wiser
With the age of its host.
Have a great day!
