Susan's Credentials

when kids grow up

when kids are small they
need us
to
tie their shoes
button their shirts
kiss their boo boos

when kids are small they
hug and kiss with abandon
adore and abhor with
equal aplomb

when kids grow up they
exceed us in size
know more than we
earn more than me

when kids grow up they
need us
to
celebrate their successes
stick with them through the messes
remind them that this too
good and bad
shall pass
but shan't be forgotten
