Your song inspired me to write the following.
Parents
i remember a song
about how parents
just don't understand
i think they do understand
it's just that their love
for thier children
blinds them
they have hopes and dreams
for their children
just as the children
have hopes and dreams for
themselves
i don't think they line up
very often
parents want one thing
while the children
want another
maybe it's not just
the parents understanding
but the children
should understand too
nobody can love you
like your parents do
they want you to succeed
but sometimes
what they want you to succeed in
doesn't match what you
want to succeed in
given time
an understanding can be reached
communication is the key
keep talking to them
and telling them
about who you want to be
and what you want to succeed in
it can be hard sometimes
once you go out into
the world on your own
take your parents advice
and use it where it applies
it will help
parents do understand
they may be misguided
but they always have your
best interest
at heart
