Life will keep you

When I was young I wanted to win;
To lead, be right, and escape my kin!
To try my wings, and taste some sins.
When I had children of my own;
I raised them so they/'/d stand alone;
When they were free of me and grown.
And yet somehow I hoped I/'/d be;
included in their families;
The further that they drew from me.
Freedom means we cut our ties;
Live away from mother’s eyes;
Certain we’ll grow worldly wise!
I/'/m old now and know how to lose;
follow; be wrong; and walk in their shoes.
And they can do anything that they choose!
They long to win, to lead, and be right;
To make their mistakes when I’m not in sight;
And I wish them success with all of my might.

So true from a female perspective.
I/'/ve seen it many times.
Guys tend to stay around a bit longer.
This was typical of your work Jaye. Brilliant and well thought out and from a rather professional insight. Your work is always worth the read!

Nicely done Jaye. Sadly enough, 85% of the time when I see my mother, it/'/s to come by and do laundry, however I have often done something nice like get her some food from a restaurant nearby, sit and talk with her. I do of course come by on occasion to see her, but I feel it/'/s not enough, though the little is seems a decent amount of time, probably in comparison with one/'/s own longevity. Oh, pretenses.
