To Mom and Dad
Location
I struggle with weakness in every stride
The thought of your shattered lives I cannot defy
To have raised what you thought to be ideal
To have it disintegrate as you are trying to heal
The pressure is immense, I will not lie
And your pain is something you can't pacify
To watch our innocence bleed must seem surreal
But contently understand, your pain, will attempt to conceal
Your hearts I will hold and caress like a lullaby
I will thrive to see your beautifully worn faces shine like the night sky
But first, with this swallowing weakness I will have to deal
And I promise one day "your happiness" I will make you feel
