Either Way

In honor of Mother's Day, during which I'll be piloting a plane east, or sitting for a very long time, I forget which, here's a brief yet heartfelt summation of the mother-child bond:

Sometimes you make her weep
Sometimes she makes you weep
Sometimes you make her laugh
Sometimes she makes you laugh

Sometimes you make her kvell
Sometimes she makes you kvell
Sometimes you make her mad
Sometimes she makes you mad

Sometimes you make her tired
Sometimes she makes you tired
Sometimes you make her fret
Sometimes she makes you fret

Sometimes you make her yell
Sometimes she makes you yell
Sometimes you make her call
Sometimes she makes you call

If you put in the love
If you hang on real tight
If you learn to let go
If you always make up

This thing that you've built
This bond that you share
This sense of belonging
This journey through life

Either way, day after day,
Week after month after year
Wherever you go, whatever you need
You'll never be alone
