Couldn't.....

Couldn't ride that fast car

Couldn't be someone

Couldn't be a moon for you, mom

Couldn't be a sun for you, dad

Years smiled to let months grin

Moments sobbed to let days cry loud

Couldn't restrain leafs destined to fall

At the end of road, I stand alone

With just a lone rose for you

[Leslie Philibert]

I really like this, a poem that (as I understand it) looks at what parents expect, often too much, children can not relive the lives of their parents, great..
