Never be, “Too tired,” to offer a consoling hug,
Never be, “Too busy,” to listen to their woes,
Never duck their questions and give them a dismissive shrug,
'Cos you’re the one with answers, if you’re the one that knows,
Knows their deepest fears and the things that stress them most,
Knows the things that make laugh, knows what makes them cry,
But only if you listen and holds them when they’re feeling lost,
And makes the time to answer when they ask the question, “Why?”
They are your treasure, your future, all of your aspiration,
They are the reason you came in from the wild,
So never be any less than their expectation,
Never be less than a parent to your child.
