With our children, we are waiting for them to cross
The threshold into growing up so that they can understand
Who we are
That we try so hard
To make them understand who we are
Really, really we need to just keep being ourselves
And let them see
And live with us organically

And let them be themselves without trying to shape who they are
Because they were born that way
You don't need to overstate yourself
To allow them to see it
One day, they will just understand
