This one is for my Grandson, who is growing up overnight. He is gorgeous and quiet the young man. I remember going through this stage in my life.

Age Makes The Difference
For awhile
March 25, 2011
By Rose Marie Rideout

I really understand how you are feeling,
 deep down within your heart.
It just isn’t fair about the rules,
Who says their rules are right.

The law has to have rules to protect us,
Till we reach the age to decide,
Who we really want in our lives,
Who should be our true guide.

Yes we have those hidden feelings,
So hard to keep them in their place,
As our heart beats its own pattern,
For the love we have sets our mode in a race.

We sit back and ponder,
How can they say this is so wrong,
When my emotions tell me truly,
It’s with the one I love is where I belong.

 

Our body makes all the changes,
But the years are slowing down,
My heart is telling one thing,
While my tears fall to the ground.

It’s hard to understand now,
What hurts deep within your heart,
But soon all this will change,
When nothing can tear you both apart.

The teen years are very hard for each generation that comes along. Your poem captures all that and more.... I don't think I'd want to be a teenager in todays society...M

I believe there are no short cuts in life and we can learn these emotional lessons young or then again, way too "late" if the rite of passage doesn't come sooner. At whatever age we "grow up overnight", it's a blessing to have the kind compassion of one who sees, hears, understands and stands alongside us in the "growing pains", knowing that we shall live, love and survive to pursue our own equal paths of wisdom in due course. What visual springs to mind here is of a mother bird sheltering the young under the ample feathers of her wing until the little one has learned enough to fly solo. And your angel feathers, Rose, are never in short supply! A work of strength and support to those in need. xx

A time in life when there are so many extreme up and downs, but somehow we all manage to survive and grow to be the better for it. How sweet to read your words again, how is Fred?

Be always safe,
Karen

i'm eavesdropping in the nicest way on
Rose's advice room and i'm learning
from her wise, caring words.

For a man your childhood really ends at the ages 13-14. Everything turns to lust which continues the remainder of our lives. Good write, Rose.

Wonderful, inspiring words for your grandson. Going through the years of trying to find oneself and the niche one belongs in is truly difficult.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
