It isn't easy being a parent
I want to do my best
And give you sound advice
I couldn't do anything less





But knowing the right words
And getting them said
For me it isn't easy
It's something I really dread





Wrong words seem
To be what I usually say
And because of this inaptness
I usually have to pay





Communication skills I don't have
And frustrated I get
Then I go and say things
That usually I regret
