You’re fighting and not caring 
You’re staring yet not caring 
You’re standing yet not handing
You’re there 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 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
