Children/Friend
Our children will always be our children
But when will they become our friend?
When will we meet on common ground
Supporting each other as we can?
It seems I must listen and not give advice
Then they will also listen to me.
We will share ideas, our dreams and fears
Then we'll let each other - just be.
A parent/child relationship is a powerful bond
We know what they'll do, think or say.
We know each other so very well
And we can learn from each other each day.
So this valuable relationship we will cherish
And we'll work hard to know our child.
For bonded we are for all times
Our wild child who now is so mild.
