Oh, Parenthood!

Fatherhood, motherhood,
how difficult could it be?
Once you’ve had your own children,
it’s not that easy, you shall see.
Conception, birth, first teeth, growth spurt:
They roll over then crawl, walk, and then run…
When they’re your babies, it’s all so much fun.
Then just when you think you have seen it all,
they’re dating and driving themselves to the mall.
T-ball and soccer, football and dance…
Rest for the parents? Not the slightest chance.
