The Children Are Becoming
Parenting Poetry — COVID Diary
“We need more people
Who haven’t been through anything”
That’s what the bully said
He’s in leadership
He wants to make a world
Where only certain people can live
He thinks it’s okay
To use resources to eradicate
Any he feels uncomfortable with
SMH
That’s insane!
What kind of upbringing
Did he experience?
“It’s all in how people are raised”
I hear every day
So many try to accuse me
Of failing at the assignment
But my kids
Do INCREDIBLE things
EVERY day!
Literally!
They do what no other has done
They do what so many fear
They do what so many can’t
I’m proud of their courage, fortitude, strength
Persistence, creativity, intelligence, diligence
They’ve been through a lot of things
So many every day
Terrible things
Traumatic and tragic
They keep moving anyway
Determined to live
The best that they can
They blocked at so many intersections
Yet they maneuver them anyway
Often with precision
It’s they choices they make
Like all kids
They make mistakes
Like all humans
They know they aren’t perfect
They are fully aware that no one is
They understand that life gets messy
Particularly during times such as this
When the insane are running the asylum
People like us being their primary targets
They get tired of it
They certainly, but they invent ways to rise above it
Every day they do work that this
Corrupt government can’t accomplish
SMH
They get around the obstacles and conflict
Regardless of limitation
Regardless of my condition
They grew up solutions based
Though people view us other ways
They don’t know what we live!
They don’t how all that we experience
Surviving is a miracle
Thriving impossible but we manage anyway
We do what we must
Yet still keep it a 100
Attempting to be the best we can
Yet being what we need in any given moment
Even when that requires defense
These kids!
They listen
They learn
They adapt
They grow in consciousness
I did my job as a mother
TEACHING
They embrace
Then apply it
People project all manner of things on to us
We all get tired of it
They have such courage
They get past it
Even when I’m at my worst
Debilitated
They get through it anyway
My kids!
Amazing as they are
They give me joy
Fill me with accomplishment
As a parent
When people look at their kids
They want to see trophies
Money
Shiny things
I look for what’s inside of them
What have they cultivated
How hard was it?
They have never had anything easy
Yet they come out of the soot of the mines
Polished jewels anyway
My kids!
Out here in extreme circumstances
Doing amazing things every day
They’re still normal kids
Experiencing abnormal things
AMAZING
That they maintain their grip
On their spirit
Yet they do
And even teach others about it
AMAZING!
I’m so proud of them!
Despite the chaos weaponized against them
The kind that make other’s heads spin
They do what is required
To transcend to higher spaces
Even when grieving tragic losses
Losing family and friends
They persist
We persist in our family relationships
Close, solid
Even at times
In miraculous ways
Many would be shocked to know
The things we have accomplished
In such tumultuous conditions
Still reaching new levels
Higher vibration
Higher wavelengths
Sharing what we know
Rolling in the deep of it
They do what so many can’t
What others fear
For them it’s first nature
To strive or to be their best
In spite of bias
Obstacles
Abuse
Systemic oppression
They strive for their own unique expression
They protect
What is most important
Never seeking to violate
But more than willing to defend
Nothing stops them
They just keep moving
I’m immensely proud of them!
After all they have experienced!
Their lives are walking blessings
They express this
Through a variety of ways
I’m immensely proud of them
Time we do not waste
We’re coming through the apocalypse
Having been tormented
By the most of demonic of men and women
We were chosen
They are aware of this
They have their own life mission
They develop their personal gifts
To use them for their highest purpose
What more can any parent want for kids
But to see them express their greatest strengths
Using them to help others elevate
Those are my children
Those are the kids I raised
I love them with all my heart
I praise them because they deserve it
I share their talents
Because they wont brag on themselves
But they are intuitive
Empathic
Protective
Enlightened
Artistic
Talented
So intelligent
So helpful to their mother
So impressive
So expressive
To creative
Abundantly blessed
With expanded consciousness
Able to see, know, understand, and express
Things that many at the highest levels in science
Can’t grasp
They just get it
I love theses kids!
AND
If they weren't’ enough
They share their talents
Without abusing or exploiting them
Or anyone else
They see value
In being their best
From their higher selves
They protect that space
Becoming independent then interdependent
They are more whole
Than most adults they encounter
Yet they don’t make them feel inferior
Because of this
Often they simply express their thinking
Then people learn form it
They lead by example by showing up their best
When and wherever they can
Knowing when it’s best to chip in
Knowing when it’s best to walk away
Knowing when it’s best to take a stand
Defending those getting oppressed
Every step of the way
At every change provided
Protecting each other like precious gold
Because they know
No one was born to be enslaved
When they make mistakes
Or even a poor decision
They forgive themselves and make amends
Learn better choices
Use better judgement
Even teaching me as they go
Since they have those young fresh brains
They don’t use people for anything
They experience, live, be
These human beings
These AMAZING kids!
After all they have experienced
Witnessed
Been through and in
These kids!
They just keep rising above it
:)
I’m so happy for them
And so blessed to have raised them
The universe must have loved me a whole lot
To trust me with such precisions kids
I am 4 ever thankful for it!
I wouldn’t have it any other way
They people they are
Are just too beautiful to risk
Amazing, wonderful, beautiful, loving, supportive blessings
My kids!
I am SO thankful for them!
ALL OF THEM!
IN EVERY WAY!
If this were my last moment
THIS is what I would want to express
How much I truly am proud of
AND love
My beloved children!
ALL of them! :)
