Always Be Mine

I thought we were normal til I learned that normal’s a lie
To my parents’ credit they never tried that hard to hide
The beauty in the mess
Of crazy quirkiness
So neither do I
They’ll always be mine
Always be mine
My dad is the image of Dad in Calvin and Hobbs
He loves building character biking through snow to his jobs
He tinkers and explores
Loves the outdoors
And now so do I
He’ll always be mine
Always be mine
My mom’s Wonder Woman, I’ve seen the fire in her eyes
Deceptively mild till the costume change and fight
Creative and she’s kind
She speaks her mind
And now so do I
She’ll always be mine
Always be mine
My parents are human, I know, and still heroes
So I think a thanks is in order, so here it goes
Thanks for being you
Thanks for loving me
And making me me
I’ll always be yours
Always be yours
My siblings and I have an ongoing argument
Who’ll get to take care of our folks in retirement
No one can agree
Everyone says “me!”
And so do I
(And guess what?)
They’ll always be mine
Always be mine

Blueberry Hill

I’ll never outgrow adventure walks
Blueberry Hill is still my home
You taught me to plan and play with you
And wander on my own
I explore in the safety of the promise
Among the many noises you know mine
So I’ll climb this whole mountain side
Cause when I’m lost I know you’ll find
Find me
You let me believe I could help
With a matching pail just my size
Gave me the space to fall and fail
So I could learn I can rise
I’m grown up now and miles away
You still hear me

Legacy

Your date nights were weekly priorities
Causing me to sometimes miss out
You two have secrets and inside jokes
I still don’t know about
You love each other
More than you love me
I love your legacy
It’s such a relief to have always known
I’ve never been your world
It took off the pressure to fill a void
So I could just be your little girl
Yours was the first love I witnessed up close
And yours was the first love I felt
I know you wish that you coulda done better
But damn, these are good cards you dealt
