You’ve Got A Friend
in Me
You've got a friend in
me
You've got a friend in me
You got troubles, I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and see it through
'Cause you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
Adult children are our
friends
Adult children are full members of a group,
whether that group is a family, a clan, a tribe, etc. They can not be full members if they are the property
of any other member of the group ( i.e. their parents). Looking at the words in the song, there is
nothing that I as a parent wouldn’t do for my children. We will stick together and see it through. What is mine is theirs. But that same should be true for any
friend. Yes, I will still treasure the memories
and honor of being their parent, but that is looking backward. Looking forward, I have to accept that as adults
they are no different than anyone else in my group and they hopefully will be my
friends. Vive La Fraternite.
