Carry them on your shoulders
Sing to them
Push the swing
Apply Bandaids
Tuck them in
Chauffeur to and from school
Refrain from picking their friends
Teach them right and wrong
Teach them to drive
Fix the favorite foods
Allow them to breathe
Wait for them to call,
put you on hold and
then hang up on you first.
