Beauty & Meaning

Counting down to the the due date, Your bundle of joy arrives this day, After months of existing within you, Through pain, a life is birthed, A cry is heard, a journey begins,  A task is given, a job is earned,  That's how parenthood begins. ✍️©️ Toobrightanthony  📸@pexels.com 

Parenting is the call of awareness,  That questions your every thoughts and being,  It requires different kinds of decisions at different levels and dimensions,  It is not a one size fits all task : as each child is unique and special, The call of parenting is a call of accountability. ✍️©️Toobrightanthony  📸@pixabay.com 

The role of a parent changes with time, First it's about nurturing, with a lot of learning,  Then you're teaching,directing, and adjusting,  Later you're counselling, while trusting, and hoping they become better than you, Finally, you become a consultant, on few issues to them. ✍️©️ Toobrightanthony  📸@pixabay.com.

The call of parenting starts whenever it starts, It starts when the call reaches out to you, The call can be direct, indirect or through adoption, Sometimes it happens without giving you heads up,  The call of parenting is a lifelong vocation,  It's a vocation with eternal rewards ✍️©️Toobrightanthony  📸@pixabay.com 

The call of parenting is a lifelong vocation, It develops and changes, as life progresses,  It varies in stages and phases, that comes with different expectations,  It will stretch your patience, to the very last, The call of parentin, is the call of nation building.  ✍️©️Toobrightanthony  📸@pixabay.com
