Kids Must Learn On Their Own

Trying to deal Trying to cope Trying to find A glimmer of hope There's always one Who needs to be lead There's always one Who ignores all that's said Sometimes the lost one Finds out on their own That all they ever needed Was to listen at home It takes some defeats Before you can win One day they may look back And see what might have been Then they may realize It's all been a waste All the disappointments Soon must be faced They'll never admit When parents are right Hopefully they'll remember Just how they lost sight Of the things in life That matter the most That in order to succeed One cannot coast Through a while lifetime The lessons are many The things that they'll learn Will always be plenty One has to give To get things in return It's a very hard lesson That some will learn We all need time To find our own way No matter what else Anyone may say So give them some room Let them fall on their own But always let them know They'll always have a home With a little luck along the way One day they'll wake up and see That it wasn't everybody else The problem was always with "me" They'll need to admit to themselves Just how wrong they have been They must see through their own eyes That life sometimes is a game you can win Right now many things to them Are completely unknown That's why we must give them the room So kids can learn on their own 8-31-18/RjH
