Together Rising

After I tuck you in bed
I think of all the things I said
I wonder what you'll recall the most
My impatient or my loving words

I know I'll pay for your therapy
When you're old enough to critique me
Each day's an opportunity
I'll teach you as you teach me

When I hold your hand in mine
It feels that way by design
So I'll let it be a sign
To take my time

I'll openly admit
You're my excuse to dance
But my body welcomes it
For unlearning you're my greatest chance

When I hold your hand in mine
I lose all track of time
So I'll let it be a sign
For my heart and head to align

Life it seems full of letting go
I will let you go but gradually
You can change your mind change it in real time
You can take your mother's name or mine
When I let you down know that I'll come around
I will love you quiet and out loud
You can tell me no your boundaries are your own
Still most things I'll encourage you to try
I'll always want more time holding your hand in mine
Though life's not guaranteed love doesn't die
You show me what's real and how much feelings feel
I want to heal all your hurts but have to face mine first
We're both vulnerable and cause of that I know
Growth has both its beauty and sorrow
Together rising it's a beautiful exchange
Together rising there's no way I'll stay the same

Cause when I hold your hand in mine
It feels that way by design
And I'll let it be my sign
To soak in all the time
