Always, You Will Be
Always, you will be my child.
Even when you grow bigger than me,
and I have to look up to see your face.
Even when you have studied more,
and have to teach me the way.
Even when you are a father,
and memories of me fade;
you will still be, my child.
Always, I will look back,
and wish I had done more;
more playing with you,
more listening to your feelings,
more sharing stories.
More moments with you,
and not just near you.
Always, I will be loving you.
Even when you are mean,
and make me sad.
Even when you make bad choices,
and I am mad.
Even when I am long gone;
I will be,
where ever I will be,
Loving You.
Always, I will be your compass.
When you need advice, but refuse to ask,
it’s my words you will find in your thoughts.
When you make mistakes, and want to keep secrets,
in your eyes, I will translate your lies.
When you feel pain and sadness,
I will carry that burden with you.
I will give you my strength, and happily become weak,
to keep you from heartache.
Always, you will be my very best;
the best thing I have ever done,
the best love I have ever known,
the best soul I have ever touched.
Always,
I will be,
where ever I will be,
Loving You.
