Support

Sometimes one is too self absorbed to support their spouse,
Too focused on themselves that they can't get their head out of the clouds.
Whatever you both do there should be support from each other,
Because what matters comes from them, not another.
It should be a team effort and making time,
To support you when available unless you're on the grind.
Couples are suppose to chase dreams together,
That's what makes the relationship better.
Being there for them and them there for you,
No matter what you two are going through.
It feels good to know that you have them on your side,
Standing beside you on the bumpy ride.
You might feel like giving up because it gets too tough,
Being there every step of the way cheering is enough.
Include them in what you're trying to accomplish,
Because leaving them out makes you look selfish.
They want to know that you support them in their dreams,
Makes you feel good when they know you're on their team.
It's suppose to be two molding into one,
It's a lot stronger when two are  putting both your plans in action.
You might not realize how much just a little support means,
At times it seems to be overseen.
Support your partner in whatever they do,
At the end of the day you will still love  them and they will still love you.
I know at times you get caught up in what you're doing,
Don't know if you're coming or going.
Find that equal balance to show them they're not alone,
So their journey towards the future can be set in stone.
It hurts to feel like they don't care about your ambitions,
Because they're too busy with their own mission.
I heed you to stop and think the damage it can cause,
Grab your love by the hand and chase your dreams together like two outlaws.
When it's all said and done and your dreams came true,
It was from your support that kept shining through.
