Pigmas 2023 26 December

[RiverNotch]

Bit sick today. Sorry for the lateness.

Third day of Pigmas! Taking into account some of the feedback in the opening thread, ye respondents may follow one of three tiers:
(1 - GOLD) Write a sonnet based on the day's prompt. The final goal is to produce something approximating a crown of sonnets!
(2 - FRANKINCENSE) Write a poem of a particular form based on the day's prompt. The final goal is to produce something approximating a crown of that form.
(3 - MYRRH) Write a poem on the day's prompt based on your choice of poem from the previous day's prompt, making sure it's the same form as the poem you're responding to.

Today's prompt: 
Write a poem involving parenthood.

As a matter of fact, its all an act
All the substances I consume, I'm jacked
Twenty four seven, looking for heaven 
A spark from the Holy ghost that I've lacked.
Life is a bike ride always shifting gear
Pray the pater noster hoping to steer
My chaotic day to a righteous way
Without being the one to interfere 
In my Own kids journey to adulthood
discernment between what's evil and good
Learning to be free, bound to scrape her knee
She'll look back and see I did what I could
Life is a bike ride always shifting gear
I don't know The last time I shed a tear
