As One

A smile from your mouth
Is fuel for my life
For in your approval
My comfort is found.
I try to live up
To your dreams
For me...
Yet I cannot forget
My own.
Sometimes
When I reach for my dreams
I grab a mistake.
You suffer with me
Sharing my disappointment
And
As the tears fall
Down your face
They puncture my soul.
But through this pain
We have learned to grow...
As one.
