Parents

Keep it real with me. 

So when I’m thirty two.
And I don't know what to do.  
I can call you. 
When my son is only two. 
And his face is blue.
In a panic because this is new. 
I might even need you. 
To come to St Clair Avenue. 
So you can get my point of view.
I’ll even fly you. 
Man, crazy how our bond grew 

Because you kept it real with me.
