Poems for My Kids

Anyone who has a kid has been asked "those" questions.  Your kids want to know what you were like at their age.  They want to know what you felt when in their situation.  They want to know what decisions or actions you took, or maybe they know but they just want to know why...



This covers it for me.  I'll talk your ear off when it comes to most things, but not really about me.  This is me showing myself to my kids in a way I could never adequately express otherwise.  The nice thing is, it is something they can read over and over again.  They don't have to try to remember what I said or what I meant...



My oldest is about to be a teenager, we all know how that goes.  Suddenly we old folk don't know what we're talking about and we have no idea how they feel.  This book puts all that to rest.  Out kids can read and realize that we know exactly what they are going through...



...and we made it through...



...and we may have a little good advice for them after it all...
