Parents

I have parents, a pair of ants, they spend their life doing things all the time.
The grasshopper and the ant was their favorite tail,
Forgetting that nature had created both.
Both creatures have their role, role to play with the web of life.
What is the big deal, this being a parent, no one came with the operating manual.
Sometimes feel like they got a promotion, studious ant (student) to worker ant to parent.
What's the big deal?
Someone has a period, another has a comma,
They came together and had an exclamation,
For the next 9 months, there is a question mark,
Is it a period or a comma,
That is all life seems to be,
Discontinuity and continuity,
Caught up always in duality,
That we all cope with miserably.
