Children Who Go Errant!
by Deborah Ann Belka When did I become the child, and my children the parent? What has happened to me . . . that this phenomenon ~ I should inherit? I am not old and senile, I still have all my useful functions but they act as if . . . I left my caboose at the junction. I can still form my words, and believe I know their meaning but it seems that my every sentence they are constantly screening. I remember my phone number, and can still recall my home address but to them you would think . . . I've forgotten ~ how myself to dress! I can brush and comb my hair, and even wash my face and hands but they act as if . . . I should be put out to the pasture lands. How did I get so dumb, as they became way too smart who put this silly notion into their own aging heart? When did I become the child, and my children the parent? Isn't this what the Bible calls . . . children who go errant? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Proverbs 22:6 King James Version "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
