Pain, Loss and Hope - parenting a teen (fibonacci, Writer's Cramp, 03/29-30/2010 prompt)

A Rosetta Stone for Parents of Teenagers


The
Past
Aideth
Not my quest
For understanding.
My life yields neither clue nor key.
In desperation do I share all that I am but,
Defiant still, my child departs.
I do not follow,
Trusting love
To bring
Him
Home.
