Forcing Change

                         Sometimes I’m able 
                          to just receive 
                        what life has to offer
                         without commenting
                         or forcing change.
         
                         Then, other times,
                          I have to grab 
                          one of my kids,
                         carry their ass 
                                          upstairs, 
                      set them on the pot
                         then fight them to
                         get on pajamas.
