*** Kids ***

by 'Barry R. Long'

everywhere I travel I hear people complain
they don't understand, and how their kids are a pain
do not they realise their kids eyes are their own
perhaps if they talked with them instead of just moan
true communication they just might even foster
kids might even miss being on the police arrest roster
try to remember being young and how it felt
you never know, could be, they won't need the belt
don't forget a teens life is turned inside out
all mixed up with those extra hormones floating about
keeping integrity while having an open mind
an appreciative child with love they might instead find
children need a safe haven on which to rely
think twice before giving them the thumbs down reply
go home, you who complain your kids are a pain
and tell them you still love them and ask them to explain
