Feels like it’s time to be ratcheting up, my kids quickly aging, not feeling ready,

Feels like it’s time to be ratcheting up, holding the line higher, if not me, who?

Their mom of course, at her house, but what about my house, what about out in the world?

Not ready, really not ready, time to be ratcheting up, raise the game, gotta be,

More responsive, quick to action, patient, accepting of compromise, willing to compromise, willing to push oneself past easy to hard,

Ratcheting up the readiness,

GOOD.
