We do have to give young people the space they need to find their own way or we risk losing them entirely. If the reigns are too tight, eventually they will break! <br /><br />How wonderful "There’s home as an option to get her on track" if she needs your help. There is a saying that "True love means letting go." Sometimes this is true and often those who are unhappy with their new-found freedom will return to us.<br /><br />A remarkably insightful poem that gives us a bit of humor as well as food for thought.<br /><br />Well done, my friend.<br /><br />Love,<br />CarolynAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10955381918758611801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629436772073396833.post-19593130204229202162014-08-07T11:38:44.396-07:002014-08-07T11:38:44.396-07:00Dear Charlene, it is lovely to have you stopping b...Dear Charlene, it is lovely to have you stopping by once again to read my poems. I appreciate your support and the lovely comments you leave. I believe that all of us have a rebellious streak lurking inside of us...and even though we grow older it still lingers there, daring to peep out from time to time! Like you, I still live and learn. May you be blessed with many more fruitful years. Take care. // paulpaul callushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414808197259322785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629436772073396833.post-66107184750382553262014-08-06T18:19:12.996-07:002014-08-06T18:19:12.996-07:00Paul, oh my yes!

I have experienced these same poignant feelings seven times with seven children. Grown now, yet still expressing their independence in rebellious ways at times, they know I am here for them with love and emotional support, which is after all, all we can really do. With that being said, don't we each and every one of us have our own little rebellious ways. I know I do even at the ripe old age of 74. I am however living and learning. :) Thank goodness and thank you for sharing your talent. <br />Charlene.<br />Charlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01059682223719672751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629436772073396833.post-15685413624649187462014-08-06T12:16:13.169-07:002014-08-06T12:16:13.169-07:00Many thanks, Beth; the young will always have a bi...Many thanks, Beth; the young will always have a bit of a rebellious nature, but most of them will grow out of it in time (I was young once, too!!:)) regards, Paulpaul callushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414808197259322785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629436772073396833.post-60268146984531295512014-08-06T10:59:06.823-07:002014-08-06T10:59:06.823-07:00Thank you, Beth Winchcombe, for the following--
