There’s more to being a parent than just being one!


By Stanley Collymore

Being a parent is considerably 
much more than biologically 
producing a child; so if you 
actually don’t know, realize, or really 
recognize that definition then surely 
honestly you shouldn't ever be one. 
Firstly: recognizing, that the young 
individual born to you or entrusted 
into your personal care is similarly 
an individual too in their own right 
although your basic responsibility 
to them is to sensibly ensure that 
they unquestionably utilize those 
essential characteristics of theirs 
in an obviously safe and actually
commendable manner becomes 
the mainstream of your personal 
assignment to them; specifically 
so when these charges of yours 
are clearly in the developmental 
stage obviously of their own life. 
However, on them undoubtedly 
subsequently becoming adults, 
themselves, it’s imperative that 
they be sensibly allowed to, as 
well as intelligently crucially be 
permitted, to be the exemplary 
citizens that all discerning and 
laudable parents are evidently 
both thrilled and also pleased,
relative to the clearly indelibly 
noteworthy and very precious 
children they earnestly raised.

Author's Remarks: 
This poem is dedicated to those unsung heroes who as parents assisted greatly in making the world a much better place than what it otherwise would have been, even now with all its many manifold problems, had they not magnificently and quite assiduously been the loving, caring and truly remarkable and wonderful parents that you were; and to those still engaged in that task, evidently are.! Thank you all!
