The Sweetness Of Parenthood Poem by Emmanuel Arunee Mwanza

The Sweetness Of Parenthood



The sweetness of parenthood

Waking up each morning mothers prepare for them
As fathers are getting ready to escort them
For other fathers,
they go out searching for what to feed those innocent empty stomachs
Joy is all that they see as they hop with gratitude and fullness
Such is the inexplicable sweetness that is felt

Time may be quickly running out for the parents as grey hair indicates
But the comfort of having a son provides security
Having a girl tells them they are going to eat till they pass on
So, mothers live in comfort in expectation
Fathers doing their best,
teaching children the ways of survival
Such is the sweetness of parenthood

It does not require one to be fertile to be a mother or father
Just a caring heart will make you take care of kids that you never knew
Such a heart will see you harvesting the sweetness of parenthood
As the children will pay you back adequately
…so be responsible
Look at the safety of the little ones;
see to it that they become responsible
Then enjoy the sweetness of parenthood when they grow up
