Mama, come here
Approach, appear
This line really speaks to me because I feel in my heart that my son wants me to keep reaching out even when he keeps pulling away.
Daddy, I'm alone
'Cause this house don't feel like home
Our house sometimes becomes a battle ground of conflicting wants and needs. The tension is often palpable and we all start to wonder if our house will ever be happy again.
If you love me, don't let go
If you love me, don't let go
I am reminded by these lines to never give up even when it's a fight. Parents who give up have kids that think they are not loved. I may not do everything right, or much of anything right sometimes, but I believe if I keep trying and not let him go, eventually he will see how much I love him.
Hold, hold on, hold onto me
'Cause I'm a little unsteady
Teenagers are all a little unsteady. Some might even say teenagers are crazy. But if we hold on as parents WE become the stability they cannot provide for themselves.
Mother, I know
That you're tired of being alone
I miss my sweet angel of a son. I still catch glimpses every once in a while. I miss having an easy relationship. I miss the fun in all the strife. I hang to the belief that "This too shall pass." We will both get through this time period. And hopefully we will both grow and be better because of all the struggle.
Dad, I know you're trying
To fight when you feel like flying
I feel like flying away 6 days out of the week! But I do keep trying. And I've come to the point where I'm trying new things instead of the same old things that have never worked in the past. I may not figure it out by the time he's an adult, but at least he has a little brother. I can be the perfect mom to him.
