Hopeful

I sometimes want to cry
And I always wonder why
But now I know the grief you felt
When words I used left a deep, red welt
I'm hoping that these days will pass
That the future will be just green, green, grass
With a relationship better built on trust
Instead of a broken thing all covered in rust
A healthy bond between parent and child
A sincere hope that you'll turn out mild

Talk to us

Trying to get through to your heart
Letting you know this is not a good start
Finding your way is a must, we know
But baby steps is the way to go
Don't cut us out just yet we ask
It makes parenting a harder task

Parenting

We're wandering, wondering how we got this far off course
We're trying, desperately, to find our way back
It's exactly, what we didn't want happening
It's terrifying, that it had to come to this
It's comforting, knowing we have a chance still
