These Kids, Your kids, Our kids
These kids want to be grown up,
Do-it-yourself, but don't realize how much they need you know-it-alls,
While really needing to be
Guided, nurtured and heard.
These kids will grow to be their best
With the right combination of “supportilizer” that
Each of us has patented our own brand of.
Your kids will fight, argue, swear they’re “done,” and have “done” their best,
Will become door slamming,
Lawyer worthy case pleaders
Who cry in your lap one minute
And swear they are grown-up enough to handle everything the next.
Your kids need to know you’re still there,
Through the mistakes,
The tears,
The successes,
The failures,
The dreaded questions
And answers they sometimes do not want to hear.
Our kids will forget we were once in their shoes,
Forget we have survived many bumps and scrapes they have yet to experience,
And forget we truly want what’s best for them.
In all of that,
Our kids will know,
That under our protective partnership of loving understanding,
And letting them make and learn from their mistakes kind of care,
We are united,
We have the best intentions and
We will do whatever it takes to
Push,
Pull,
Drag and
Glide them to the next level.
We are we.
We are united.
Because they are all
Our kids.
