StandING BY to STAND BY

StandING
By to
STAND
BY

TryING
To
STAY
POSITIVE
And
HOPEFUL
OutGOING
And
NOT
Worried
And
SHY

Only
Another
PARENT
Can
UNDERSTAND

The
D
E
P
T
H
S
Of
STRESS
And
R-E-S-P-O-N-S-I-B-I-L-I-T-Y
That a SON, or DAUGHTER
On you
WEIGHS
So
MASSIVELY
CONSTANTLY
HEAVILY
And
G
R
A
N
D

When ALL
THINGS
Are
NORMAL
And ON
TRACK

A PARENT
FEELS
At Ease
With
FREE--RANGE
And
SLACK

But
When
A
PARENT
Is
STANDING, by to
STAND
By
And PREPARING
For the,
WORST

It is HARD
To COME
To
ACCEPT
And
DEAL with
A LOW
BLOW
And
Sad
VERSE

For I Know
That
GOD
DOES, HEAR
My Every CONSTANT
P--R--A--Y--E--R

For
With
The
GREATEST
HOPE
HOPE
HOPE
For this New DAY
I
PRAY
PRAY
PRAY
For
A
MIRACLE
And
HOPE
To
SHARE

When things for a
PARENT
Are OFF
TRACK

It is
SUCH
Of a
STRESSFUL
And
TENSE
TIME
With
RESTLESSNESS
And
NO
SLACK
