Perspective truth can often hurt the most, <br /> 'cause there is not much that you can do, <br /> you can't give back the youth, <br /> - - - Oh! , only if you could. <br /> <br /> ... ON THE OTHER HAND ... <br /> <br /> Every Parent hopes to not survive their children, <br /> no matter how screwed - up they are, <br /> there is a certain satisfaction, <br /> in knowing that they brought you this far, <br /> ... therefore there is hope! <br /> <br /> Some don't get to tell their kids, <br /> that their lives are all for naught, <br /> or to stand beside those ungrateful people, <br /> in every battle fought. <br /> <br /> The lucky ones will slide away, <br /> peaceful to the sleep, <br /> while the ones they raised, <br /> although never happy, <br /> will realize... with age, <br /> that is the way that it should be.<br /><br />Barry Van Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/best-hopes/
