Growing Pains

Nothing will ever be the same
there is no returning to normal
and we must accept either
despair and uncertainty
or Purpose
for change has ever been difficult
and growth painful-
as children were we pleased
to sprout up throbbing inches over days?
did we enjoy the revelation our parents
were not superhuman but fallible even flawed
or that adults in general were not unilaterally
trusting and assured?
did we relish the discovery that in fact we could not be
whatever we set our child's heart's desire to become?
No.
But none the less we grew.
