Parent child
This is not about
What I alone
Can give to you
This is about
What you do
With the gifts
I am offering
Living beings
Choose to live
Our parents
Sustain us
What do we give
In return?
Parent child
Parent child
Which is which?
When do we change
From one to another?
The hand that takes
Becomes the hand that gives
From receiving
To giving
To sustain
A life
If no one
Gives
Who can grow
From child to parent?
If no one receives
Who can learn
To be a parent?
Giving receiving
Growing growing
Receiving giving
Forever
Growing
This is a world
Of children
And parents
Let the children
Be children
And let the parents
Be parents
