we fear the world
we bring a new life into.
We protect.
We nurture.
We teach.
We coddle.
We reprimand.
We cheer.
We steer.
We speak.
We listen.
We forgive.
We forgo.
We retrieve.
We release.
We push.
We pull.
We laugh.
We cry.
We hope.
We pray.
We love.
There is no manual.
You come without directions.
We do the best we can.
We give you wings to soar,
optimistic that you might
occasionally return to the nest.
Mostly payless and thankless,
it is a job we wouldn't give up for anything.
It is a privilege and a pleasure.
