Successful Parenting – Chapter One
The rule book.
Prototype.
Template for those yet to come.
Trial, maybe,
mostly error.
My first-born son.
Hoping to get it right
by the third or fourth
but for now,
you need my guidance,
and I need you as my guidebook.
We’ll help one another,
learning – getting it wrong,
trying all the same.
Writing the instructions for parenthood.

This was written a couple of years back and included in a book together with poems by other fathers. Unfortunately, out of print now which is a shame as the contents were far better than most of the arty farty crap you see put out in poetry circles.
Cheers.
