When to be a parent?
When to be a friend?
When to speak the truth you feel?
When an ear to lend?
When do Moms and Dads step in?
When Jack or Jill are hurting?
When do Moms and Dads bow out?
When they’d rather you were averting
When is it okay to speak?
When they’re obviously in pain?
When it reaches the point of no return?
When there’s nothing left to gain?
When Moms and Dads knew what to do
When hugs & kisses soothed
When Jill or Jack were little ones
When life’s wrinkles could be smoothed
When two in love be-came one
When the sun set on that day
When is it the time to speak your heart?
When all you’ve done is pray
When confusion, hurt, and anger come
When sorry just won’t do
When their hearts hurt you know it well
When your heart breaks in two
When to be a parent?
When to be a friend?
When to learn it’s not your concern?
When they tell you so
That’s When

I thought I was the only one who could see and feel your anguish, but the many readers of this post will be able to, as well. If only the people who need to read it – will. You are a wonderful mother, Rhonda.

Thank you for saying so, yet all I feel is inadequate. They say a Mother is only as happy as her saddest child…well, no truer words!
