of our parents to help us grow,

and eyes of mom and dad

at some point, we needed freedom

without oversight, maybe college

or a move away, a car, on our own

asking for and getting any help needed

repelling offers to go anywhere

I guess change moves in a circle

no matter where we went or what

we did, it came back around,

returning to that child of need

once again
