Day 2- Proud of Your Boy- Aladdin
A 17 year old Dean walked into his mother's bedroom. He saw she was asleep, and sat beside the bed on the rocking chair she still had there from when he and Sam were little. He grasped his mother's hand, and began with what he'd been meaning to say for a long while. He just hadn't found how before now.
Proud of your boy
I'll make you proud of your boy
Believe me, bad as I've been
Ma, you're in for a pleasant surprise
I've wasted time
I've wasted me
Dean looked down at his feet, somewhat sadly.
So say I'm slow for my age
A late bloomer, okay, I agree
That I've been one rotten kid
Some son, some pride and some joy
But I'll get over these lousin' up
Messin' up, screwin' up times
You'll see, Ma, now comes the better part
Someone's gonna make good, cross his stupid heart
Make good and finally make you proud of your boy
He looked at his mom's content face. Dean was promising to make good. He would. For her.
Tell me that I've been a louse and a loafer
You won't get a fight here, no ma'am
Say I'm a goldbrick, good-off, no good
But that couldn't be all that I am
Dean sighed. He knew he had messed up, he was addressing it. But he wasn't useless. Was he?
Water flows under the bridge
Let it pass, let it go
There's no good reason that you should believe me
Not yet, I know that
Someday and soon I'll make you proud of your boy
Though I can't make myself taller
Or smarter or handsome or wise
I'll do my best, what else can I do
Since I wasn't born perfect like dad or you
Ma, I will try to
Try hard to make you proud of your boy
Dean stayed sitting as he was for who knows how long. He would keep his promise. He would make good.
And he did.
A/N- Hope you enjoyed!
