Parents

To be a parent is an all encompassing experience

You are in charge of a life (literally) 

And despite all the bravado you display

And all the unsolicited advice you receive

You are really clueless most of the time.

Your kids look up to you, a hero to them

They think you have all the answers

(If only they knew how wrong they were)

But it's still a good thing they assume that

As this faith helps you to help them in turn.

After all, any relationship is a two way street.

While you help them take their baby steps

You rediscover all the paths you have trodden

You go back in the past and remember things

Things like purity innocence and loyalty

As long as you don't mould them to your wishes

As long as you explain them their choices

And help them realize their true potential

You would pass the parent exam in first class

And prepare your child to be a parent later
