Queasy, nervous and going mad
In my quest to be a great dad
I went through all the parenting tips
To save myself from any slips
What to do and what to not
To save my child from any blot?
What to teach and what to dress
To give my child great success?
What bedtime stories I should read
To have him sleeping guaranteed?
What to sing as a lullaby
When my child begins to cry?
What skills to teach? What toys to buy?
How to get his grades to fly?
What food is good and what is bad?
Oh I’m trying to be a great dad
Days and nights I have spent
Through each book I have went
One thing I can say for sure
They’ve left me more confused than before

Watching as your children grow
Is time well but puzzlingly spent,
What I taught mine I’ll never know?
Dad and kids both learnt as we went.

Ain’t that the truth.
If this reflects reality, then the mere fact that you’re focused on the task, is reason enough to affirm your success.
