Always on My Side

When I was young, my parents were always busy They worked so hard, leaving me behind I didn't understand back then Thought it was just how it was As life went on, we grew distant Just getting by We tried to care for each other, but time slipped away Busy days made our hearts drift apart I didn't know it then Just thought this is how we grow I took it all for granted, never thought twice Now I know, how hard my parents worked They gave me everything But I always felt it wasn't enough Only after becoming a parent did I realize Their love was everything They did their best for me Carrying the weight of it all, now I understand Becoming a parent made me see How much my parents sacrificed to raise me The little things, the kind words I took them for granted, but now I feel so grateful And so sorry Now I know, how hard my parents worked They gave me everything But I always felt it wasn't enough Only after becoming a parent did I realize Their love was everything They did their best for me Carrying the weight of it all, now I understand Now I know how big that love was To the parents who were always on my side Thank you, I'm sorry For everything, I understand now
