We Never Stop

20/10/2020 –  Poem a Day Compilation



We never stop worrying about our kids.

No matter how old they get

Or what they’re doing

Or where they are in the world,

We can’t help ourselves.



We never stop thinking about them,

If they’re doing alright,

Whether they’ve had enough to eat,

Gotten enough sleep,

And are hanging out with good people.



We never stop loving them for a moment,

Even when they royally screw something up

Or break our favourite cup,

Stay out too late without calling

Or take the last piece of pizza.



We never stop wanting the best for them

And we work our butts off to give it to them

Whether they appreciate it or not,

Though we hope they do

Because it means we’ve raised them right.



We never stop being a parent

Because once you’re a parent

You don’t know how to stop being a parent

And your parents still don’t know how to stop

So maybe cut them some slack, ok?
