Knowing you did your part.

When you come to visit we are all flourishing 

All you can do is hope we keep on getting watered

You are a distant memory to the seeds you have planted

Soon you will be gone 

How can you take the cards you’ve collector through the journey 

And multiply ours

All you can do is your best

How do you help us not leave empty handed?

How do you help us carry every drop across the finish line?

How do you help us keep our love?

Watching each side grow further and further apart 

The mentor and the apprentice

Seeing through both glasses, 

It's a daily struggle.

How does one be poured into a mold

And come out a different shape

You hope you’re not the coach who shaped you

Late nights filling pools with tears

It feels like you’re cheering for the wrong team

A whole new perspective

The player becomes a coach.
