blog problems I'm posting it again today.
Slight movement in the casing
then the breakthrough
a young chick emerges from it's shell,
the butterfly releases from a chrysalis,
and our offspring discard
the innocence of childhood.
Subtle changes
first awkward then expressed
as they come onto their own
striving to become fully
developed grown-ups.
Oh lord, our teens
will never return
to that simpler time
when they were children
and their world was
under our control.
