~ To My Teenager ~

It's hard sometimes, when people are changing their lives,
to understand each other, or even to talk.

You are struggling right now for independence
and the right to live your own way...
and I sometimes struggle for the strength to let you do it.

I wish now and then for the days when a kiss or a hug
could make your world bright again;
but your world is more difficult now,
and you want to make your own
way in it - which is as it should be.

I want you to know that when you get hurt,
I will hurt for you;
and that deep down, I always have confidence
in your ability to find your place in your world.

When you need a caring heart,
or someone to listen to your deepest dreams or concerns,
I will be there for your because I love and care for you.

Above all else, know that I love and care for you.
