Dear Parents by Sarah Lamb

The small child grows into a young lady.


She sees


            your wide smiles, your white teeth, your wonderful laughter.


            your strong arms, your steadfast love, your smooth comfort.


            your  kind actions, your cruel humor,  your crass attitude.


She notices


            your changes, in hair cut and style.


            your swings, in mood and disposition.


            your movements, from one place to another.


She desires


            stability


            freedom


            novelties.


Sometimes,


She feels


            happy


            alone


            content


            safe.


Create the environment.
