Celebrate what you got; not what you made.
You might be surprised by the ways they slay.
It’s not our job to make them compliant.
Nor do we set the bar at defiant.
Bit of reliance but in the end launched.
Able to tend their wounds & keep blood staunched.
They will show the kindnesses you’ve showed them.
The way you sound is their first voice within.
You will do your best as past adults have.
Cows nor Bulls…if always left Calves.
