The adult

Fate wanted to know if my mind is agile
So it tested my faith for a while
To see if I could stand you so fragile
To see if my emotions are versatile

Now I am big and you are small
I didn't want to see you fall
I need you to be on your pedestal
But now I have to be the adult

Another doctor checking your chart
You cry in the hospital ward
Your body is falling apart
Seeing you grow old is so hard

You don't understand the world today
All that you knew has gone away
I have to stand up for you and explain
I have to hold your hand and lead the way

I always thought you knew it all
But now I am mature and you are small
I can feel you've become emotional
Now daddy's little doll has become an adult
