As impossible as it may seem
It wasn’t that long ago
That I too was a teen.
Oh, how I remember well
The way I would rant and scream and yell
“I’ll never do that to my child”, I cried
As I stomped away to my room to hide.
Now as I watch you grow more everyday
I still hear the words my parents would say
Only now they are coming from me to you
And believe it or not
Someday you will be saying the same things
To your children too.
