Much as some of us fight it,
Our parents have a mystical hold over us,
The power to affect out thoughts and emotions,
The way only they can.
It's a bond that changes over time, but doesn't diminish,
Even if they are half a world away .....
....or in other world entirely.
It's a power we never fully understand,
We're left only to wonder that when our time comes,
What kind of hold will we have on our children ? one tree hill
