I will be there.

I will be there.
I will be there in the tired.
I will be there in the good.
I will be there when you mess up.
I will be there when you are amazing.

I will be there when the tears run.
I will be there when life isn’t fair.
I will be there when I don’t have the answers.
I will be there when my heart hurts.
I will be there for you.

I will be there when you are mad.
I will be there when you think I’m the worst.
I will be there when I’m the best.
I will be there cheering you on.
I will be there in the stand waiting for you to catch my eye.

I will be there standing behind closed doors.
I will be there sitting in offices.
I will be there waiting for you to return.
I will be there laughing together.
I will be there when your heart aches.

I will be there day after day.
I will be there holiday after holiday.
I will be there and will love you deeply.
I will be there and will feel my heart letting go.
I will be there to see you grow.

I will be there to let you go.

I will be there.

I won’t be perfect.
I won’t always have the answers.
I won’t always have patience.
I won’t not worry.

But I will be there.

I will show up.
I will give.
I will love.
I will try.

Sweet children.

I will be there.
