A Poem For Parenting

[freshwateronly]

by Linell Nash Smith and Isabel Nash Eberstadt

The Romantic Age

This one is entering her teens, 
Ripe for sentimental scenes, 
Has picked a gangling unripe male, 
Sees herself in a bridal veil, 
Presses lips and tosses head, 
Declares she's not too young to wed, 
Informs you pertly you forget 
Romeo and Juliet. 
Do not argue, do not shout; 
Remind

I think I'll send that one to my youngest!
