Kids' Willpower

it was my day, again, as many times before

that I was there, behind the table with the kids,

tea, laptop with a few stories to write

them, their books, their pencils and their mentality.

seeing my children - working on their assignments,

homeschooling, a job that isn't suitable for everyone,

but their willpower - to make it work all together

is something I admire, the power to be themselves.

within the time finished, silent - next to mommy -

deserving their crisp and warm milk in their break,

online working on the instructions of the teacher

is something they have developed - a new skill.
