Mother’s Voice

Son’s Voice
|
I can’t believe you’re my
| ||
Son.
|
Mother.
| |
We have nothing in common and are nothing alike.
| ||
You
| ||
Dance.
| ||
I sing.
| ||
I sing.
| ||
You dance.
| ||
Arguing all the while.
| ||
You say I
| ||
Don’t listen.
|
Don’t hear you.
| |
And it frustrates me that we fight.
| ||
When, truth is, I want to
| ||
Help you be your best.
|
Make you proud.
| |
Show you
| ||
I understand.
|
I’ve got it covered.
| |
Convince you
| ||
I’m your biggest cheerleader.
|
I know you’re my biggest fan.
| |
Please I remember I will
| ||
Overreact.
|
Make mistakes.
| |
Remember I am not perfect and that I still
| ||
Love you.
|
Need you.
| |
And am trying to do my best.
| ||
So where do we go from here?
| ||
I pray.
| ||
I apologize.
| ||
I regret.
| ||
I keep trying.
| ||
I worry.
| ||
I pause.
| ||
We’re going to make it. Because in the end,
| ||
I’m passionate,
| ||
I’m loving,
| ||
And a little bit crazy.
| ||
And I want to really breathe in life.
| ||
So,
| ||
I’ll worry less.
| ||
Listen more.
| ||
Work to let things go.
| ||
Show you I know.
| ||
And trust
| ||
That I’ve taught you the way to go.
|
That you’ve taught me the way to go.
| |
Because in the end,
| ||
I love you.
