I still do\n\nI laughed in joy as you took your first faltering steps\n\nMy pride and love growing\n\nI watched with great concern each time you fell and broke your young bones\n\nBut each time I was there to dry your tears and help you to your feet once again\n\nChange brings great pain but also equal growth and strength\n\nI watched in growing awe as you began to master your environment\n\nI would have preferred for you to master yourself first\n\nBut children often grow in unexpected ways\n\nSo I waited patiently always there to help if asked\n\nAs time passed my concern grew\n\nThe outside world was the easier aspect of reality to master\n\nWhen would you start to master your inner selves\n\nThe lack of attention to the other halves of yourselves is poisoning you\n\nWhy do you fear it so\n\nWhy do you so rarely ask for help\n\nWhy do you not accept help when it is given\n\nThis cannot go on for the poison from your hearts is now spilling into the outer world\n\nI cannot fix your problems only you can\n\nBut always I will love you\n\nAlways I will help you\n\nAlways I will watch you\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
