Underneath the agnst and nashing of teeth, the grumbling and angry wordsI hear you.
The mounting frustrations of growing and becoming
a responsible adult.
Oh, to regress and be as a young child again
Carefree
Winsome
surrounded by a world to discover and explore
that is safe
and guarded by parental love.
And yet,
Independence calls your name,
and you respond
and enjoy
and discover
yourself.
Your capabilities, your strengths, your limitations;
your love, and your longing
for a space on the earth
where you can rest
and let the burdens of the world
belong to Mom
once again.
