Raising Kids

I love newborn babies who wail

And demand

And quiet at a familiar breast.


I love little boys who run

And jump

And cause their mothers worry.


I love little girls who giggle

And sing

And please their fathers with hugs.


I love teenagers who wail

And demand

And worry their mothers

And hug their fathers


I love mothers and fathers who hug back.
