i might nudge you
a little
perhaps a little more
i might push you
in a direction
you weren’t planning for
it might seem
that i expect too much
but alas
i was there
for your first step
your first word
each a rock
building a foundation
in which you grew upon
i will nudge you
when you are too lazy
i will push you more
i will drive you crazy
with all the love
i can pour into you
i will nudge
i will push
so you can
mold and form
into an incredible man
better than what
i am
