The guide book for the parent hasn’t been written yet
As your kids grow up you don’t know what woes you’ll get
Sometimes it’s a breeze and life just fumbles on
And before you know it your children have up and gone
But sometimes children meet the bullies that’s when life gets tough
As a parent, it can be fraught and extremely rough
You never know which way to turn, what is right or wrong
Whichever road you travel the journey can be long
You want to hold your children and say everything’s OK
But really you don’t know what to do or what to say
You want to beat the bully up and make them understand
That what they’re doing is really underhand
That what their actions leave is scars that never heal
The impact what they do and how it makes you feel
Your children are so precious; you want to guide them right
And lead them down the path that is truly bright
Take your time and contemplate the right road to take
Make sure your decisions are the right ones to make
Guide them wisely, nurture them to make the right decision
Don’t let the bullies cloud the final vision
Tina’s writing 
It’s great to reconnect with you and your writing again, Tina, and what better reintroduction than these words which surely resonate with every parent. There’s a fragility at first but as you walk your readers through the process you gift them a strength they always had, but may have lost sight of.
