A Teenager To A Parent

Could it be?

Is it really so?

Are you telling me not to let go?

I have been trying hard

so very very hard

and now your letting me know.



Are you proud?

Am I doing right?

Thank you for letting me know tonight.

I almost stopped.

You don't know how I almost dropped,

but you’re telling me to keep doing right.

Am I happy?

Oh, but I want to cry.

I thought I saw "proud" in your eye.

I needed it;

Oh, how much I needed it,

And now encouragement has passed me by.

Thank you. I needed it...
