Little Monsters

2 years old and acting like monsters

trying to tear each other apart

each toy used as weapon to try to hit each other

very hard.

so I try to step inbetween to stop them from

getting hurt in this battle

but low and behold,they turn on me,forgetting their

own little strugle to settle

The punishment I had in mind,which was to seperate

them for a while,

turned toy,s into flying object directed at me,

and I had to smile

as young as they were,they stuck up for each other

like glue

and in their innocence,I found it actually admireable

and could not punish them,as I had set out to do.

As times went on,I realized,

punishment ,even for a little while would not

bring "piece",

but talking to them, of loving each other and being

there for each other,eventually struck a cord beneath.

This little monsters,have grown up to be men

and I could not be more proud,than I am,of them.
