My Children Are My Teachers
The days may not always be easy
And some nights may be filled with tears
But the love that overwhelms my heart when I look at you
Would last ten lifetimes plus infinity years
When you first entered the world, I had it all wrong
I thought my sole job was to protect and teach you
But by and by I’m seeing it differently
I now think I know my truth
Yes, there's a lot to teach
Because there's so much you don’t know
But the more I look in your eyes and see who you are
I understand that you were placed with me to help heal my soul

When I allow you to speak and listen to you
You speak so profoundly in the simplest of ways
You ask me questions that make me dig deep
As we converse with a deep soul gaze
