You’re fighting and not caring 
You’re staring yet not caring 
You’re standing yet not handing 
You’re here but not present 
You can fight 
You can stare 
You can stand
Pretend you’re the model parent 
But you and I both know
There’s a lot more than just knowing I exist 
You have to be there 
You can’t just fight because of me
You have to care about me
You can’t just stare at me like I’m unknown
Without giving a thought to my well being 
You can’t stand there
Without giving me a hand
You can’t be a parent 
Without actually trying to parent 
Without trying to actually 
Teach 
Protect
And enjoy 
The life of parenthood
