BLACKOWL VIEW POETRY In control, do you think so, Illusion strong I hope you know. You manage problems as you go, But really you don't even know. Heart attack, did you call that? Earthquake shook your own home flat. Who would think that little plaque, could cause a stroke, how bout that. Creator lays a path for you, Sometimes red and sometimes blue. A child is borne, all strong and true, Do you think that was all you? A child's a gift, and each unique, They learn from you to walk and speak. What value's good and what to seek, Not what to say, I hope you peep. Children hear the words you say, When you behave in different ways. Not as wise nor long in days, They follow you, not what you say.
