EMPTY NEST

An empty nest

A horrible stage in a parent's life,

After their children have left.

An empty nest includes depression,

A sense of loss of purpose,

Feelings of rejection,

Anxiety over child's welfare.

Dear parents,

Make your children 

Grow with your love,

Give them wings to fly,

Roots to come back,

Reasons to stay back.

Dear parents,

You too never feel

To be an empty nester.

Instead think yourself

As a parent of free range adults,

Try to enjoy the fullest.
