Teenage Years

Making new friends, get rid of the old
Continuously changing, no time to grow mold
Helping them through can be difficult at best
Forever c comparing themselves to the rest

Learning to be who they are on their own
Wondering where they will be when their grown
Riding a roller coaster of emotions so raw
Thinking about the card they will draw

Love them the best that you know how
For they will never be the same as they are now
Helping them now and then letting them go
Supporting them with all the wisdom you know

Teenage years are the worst of all to get through
People can be very cruel in all that they do
A parent is there to help them get by
For when they leave the nest, it’ll be your turn to cry.
