Whether you like it or not....

Missing image

She is ours, whether you like it
or not…15 years
I raised her
mostly alone…
into the loving young women
she is today

Where I tried to let her see
life has so many way’s
to walk, together…
sometimes alone, but always
having us,
family and friends too
showing love
and really care…

Sometimes making decisions
not wanting it to turn out bad
but always believing
in the goodness, love

And she is trying so hard
to follow every thought
discovering it all,
in love now, herself…

Are you feeling replaced?
Do you really think she hates you?
Did you ever tried to ask her why
she believes in love?


This young woman,
our daughter
so in love with life,

with him…

You’re pushing her away
neglecting her boyfriend
Denying she loves him,
because she has hope
and love inside
For him the most…of course
he is her future,
while we,
as years fade,
become her past…


You force her

with your anger...
Don’t you see?
She loves him,
us...
She doesn’t want to choose…
Not between him,

or you and me…

    This is such a personal yet universal problem that we parents continually suffer and you have caught the anguish so well. On a purely writing level you have some errors that, once ruled out, can improve the piece........ young women, should read young woman; so many way’s should read so many ways (the apostrophe is redundant); and, Did you ever tried should read Did you ever try. Thanks for sharing.

    I know the feeling of this one and I was actually forced to break up with a boy because my parents didn't like him and then I soon as i turned 18....it was the same thing...live under their roof abide by their rules...that's why i'm happy to be in college....anyways I really like the piece because it reminds me of myself and my parents and the title was great

    WOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This is packed with emotion and it almost knocked me off my chair. It is hard for a parent to let go at times and this showed what can happen when they are having a hard time seeing that the love for them will not be lost or replaced. A new love will be brought into the family to be shared. You rocked with this one and I say kudos for this magnificent piece. I wish you all the best in the contest. Keep it flowing, it sounds golden to me. Love and God bless you my friend, Joyce

    wow. Like a letter to... wait... your boyfriend/husband/ex? I don't know how that relationship it. But in this piece you really showed some emotions and how some parents don't understand young love. I like that you say that one shouldn't force her, and you're right. There is always room for one more to love

    WOW hun this is superb...you really tell a story with this, i can see exactly where your mind and thoughts are going.

    he does not approve of him does he....that is too bad, sometimes you have to chose your battles. he will learn when she chooses the boyfriend over him.

    Great job, best of luck in the contest

    this spoke many things to me,
    this my dear Jeanette, has burdened my heart.
    If this is going on my heart pours out to you with such love and comfort, if not i know so many can relate, fo ri was this fifteen year old, growing up and had to decide between, him or parents. its a hard choice. Great job hun.
    love and peace.
    Tory

    Often more then not, we don't see their heart,
    truth be known they're are babies,we never want to part.
    but letting go is part of life, something we must face,
    to hold our pain within, bite our tongues, and allow them loves embrace,
    and hopefully they make the right choice, you never know
    if its the right or wrong path, we just have to let them go.
    and remind them that they're loved, and we will be here,
    that no matter the situation, they should never walk wth fear,
    all we can do is hope and pray, that this is what is best,
    to love our beautiful children, we have to face lifes tests.

    God bless you love.
    Tory
