Parenting. True? False?
It seems a dream parents will
Listen to a child.

Beautiful piece! I have little ones that I’m close with and they tell such amazing stories. It’s so important to embrace these ages and listen to everything they’re telling you because time sure passes by so quickly.

I am currently studying children’s psychology and it just seems unbelievable how long it took for someone to think about actually listening to the child instead of treating them like a project or something to be studied as if they weren’t actual human being with thoughts, wills and personality of their own. Delighted to see you chose to touch the topic in a poem!

I remember being shushed a lot as a child and feeling like I was never taken seriously. It was very frustrating!

I absolutely love what you did with the structure here, the words flow like water. And the simple questions true? false? say more than is written.

I appreciate it with my parents now to, more than ever as I see children with no voice and understand how much it means to have a voice. Thank you for sharing this!

Such a great piece! I’ve heard of stories of women who dreamed of being a mother and were told there there wasn’t a high chance due to a number of things such as endometriosis and when they finally have their little miracle in their arms it’s just so overwhelming that their dream became a reality.
Lovely piece!
