Should we forget?

Maybe nights are meant to be kept quiet,

While friends are meant to be too busy

And laden with important burdens.

Interviews for the new management position

Parents should sleep with ease;

And without worry.

No needs to tend, just bask

In thoughts that children played

This game as them.

Made the same outcome with different
Mistakes.

Nights best filled and felt with silence

Too much for one mind to grip in

One dream.

Rest is supposed to be ripped away;

And that hope turned too to reality.

Silence should comfort to confirm,

That this is really happening.

we become our parents...they should rest assured...yet for us there is no rest...because we are in the middle of it happening...we become the ones too busy to notice life...sort of like our parents and their parents before them.

i really like the part about "different mistakes" with the same outcome...excellent...
