PARENTHOOD

I had no way of knowing;
I thought the job natural;
My training was idealism;
I knew I could be better.

I will explain my every discipline;
I will never be unfair.
They will understand my thought completely;
There will never be despair.

They were bored with my explanations.
Had no time for my advice.
I had constant guilt of indifference;
A fate doomed to be repeated.
