Talk to Your child

Talk to your child,

Open your heart to your child

The ambitions and the failures,

The successes and the lures

The path travelled so long,

Carrying them all along

As, your child is like a silkworm

Munching away the leaves from hearth so warm

Building their cocoons around

Slipping away without a sound

Before you know they will be in

Will not be seen growing within

The cocoon won’t open, hard you try

Tear it in and you will only cry

The day it would open and out would fly

The caterpillar you knew is now a butterfly

However you want however you try

The butterfly would fly up, up and high

Before it is too late be your child’s mate

As time is flying and nothing will wait

So, talk to your child

Open your heart to your child.
