My Daughter My Friend

Published: May 2013

I see the pain in your eyes and feeling like you do
I wish I could take it all away and skip these years for you

Being a teen is so very hard, it really isn't fair
To go through all of this and still feel like no one is there

You don't have to tell me how you feel, I see it every day
Like nothing you ever do is good enough, or you're just in the way

If you could see through my eyes, how confident and true
You becoming a young woman, but still somewhat a youth

I can't make this feeling go away, I can't fix all of your tears
But I can tell you that I know the feelings and the fears.

If you ask me how I know all that you are going through
I will answer simply I know this all because... I have been there too.

I LOVE YOU - Mom 1/27/13
