BOLD
BOLD
To be so close: and yet so far away.
I really wish he’d always stay, as close to me as he can be.
Without the shame and all the pain, he would not be who he is today.
Respecting his choices and honoring his willfulness.
Wondering why he has put all this distance between his heart and his emotions?
When will he let me show him my devotion?
To make him happy, to be whole again, to be a family?
Share in our fears, as well as how to conquer them.
Communicate how we feel and what we think.
His children are his blessing; they shall forever keep him guessing.
If he’ll be the best for them, will he ever truly win?
To watch him succeed would be my dream.
To see him go far, to make that par: that we all need to make.
To show him my support, stand by his side.
Hoping I can always provide all the love he needs to stand beside me.
When times get tough and we’ve had enough.
We can always turn to each other, learn from one another…
Feeding from each others intellect, crossing at the perfect intersect.
Sharing in the memories, now and forever we will be.
