301 The Bond Between Parent and Child

“The Bond Between Parent and Child”

Any parent worries about their child.
But there are parents who worry too much.
A healthy dose of worry shows love,
But an overdose harms the heart.

Worry can have harmful effects:
Causing one to shy away from challenges
Or lose confidence in one’s ability,
At times leading to a bleak life.

What’s important is not worry,
But rather a parent believing in their child.
Sending the beloved child out on a journey—
On life’s journey, the very nourishment that grows the soul.

That journey might have hardships,
But believing in one’s child
Gives strength unseen to the child.
And lets the parent grow as a parent.
With the bonds of “believing” in their hearts,
Parent and child stand on their own feet,
The synonymous “believing” and “loving”
Guiding their journey.
