Since you acted out
In piano
Or got reprimanded
In swim.
Did we break your spirit
Like a wild mustang?
Did the pile of parenting books
Checked out from the library
Actually help?
Did you just get older and
Figure out on your own that
The fits weren't getting you anywhere?
Should I just have chilled out
And let time
And development
Work their magic?
Could I have saved up some energy
From my own counter-tantrum tantrums?
By the time you are too old
For all of it to matter,
I may have this parenting thing
All
Figured
Out.
