Heard every excuse in the book
When I let go I leave the door ajar but never expect anything or anyone
I just don't expect
I accept
Easier to say than learn
So much for listening.
Hugging or putting a band-aid on what hurts
Sometimes you can't fix it
Sometimes you can be too good so you need to be better than that and stay clear until you know you are needed and wanted

Mathematics
Algebra, geometry arithmetic,
For some it is fun
Divide by same number it is one,
Plus, minus  multiply and divide,
With many maths rules you have to abide.
Others swell up in wrath,
To walk the tricky path.
Maths is full of calculation,
But the problem is multiplication.
In the 80's when my children misbehaved
Neither I shouted nor raved,
My hands I raised not,
But made them learn times tables by rote,
And with soda tops made them solve plus and minus sums
And if they got all right I rewarded them with candies and chewing gum.

Neglect precedes
Abuse
Busted wagons mostly go downhill
Horseless
And often driverless
Too
But sometimes
Depending what passenger do
Busted wagons have been
Known to come through
