Our Children
WHY CAN'T THEY SEE THEY'LL NEED YOU ALL THEIR LIVES?SOMETIMES WISDOM COMES TOO LATE, HIDDEN BEHIND TEARS AND LIE'S..
WHERE DO YOU GO WHEN YOUR NO LONGER NEEDED?
WHEN YOU'VE DUG THE GROUND AND PLANTED THE SEED ?
YOU'VE PAVED THE ROAD AND REMOVED ALL THE ROCKS..
YOU'VE OPENED THE DOOR AND BROKE ALL THE LOCKS..
YOU'VE DONE ALL THIS FOR OTHERS TO PROCEED,
AND IT CAME FROM THE HEART NO ONE NEEDED TO AGREE..
YOU UNSELFLY GAVE ALL YOU HAD TO GIVE..
IN HOPE SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE WOULD BE OF GREATER VALUE TO LIVE..
SOMETIMES YOU WERE SPREAD TO THIN AND NEEDED STRENGTH YOURSLF !!
YET YOU MADE OTHER'S RICH WHILE YOU YOURSELF WENT WITHOUT WEALTH..
THEY ALL CALLED YOU WHEN THEY WERE IN NEED.
BUT WHEN THINGS WENT WELL FOR THEM THEIR FACES YOU WOULDN'T SEE..
SO YOUR NOW ALONE NO LONGER NEEDED LIKE BEFORE !!
THOUGH YOU STILL HAVE MUCH TO OFFER NO ONE SEEMS TO COME BACK FOR MORE..
THESE ARE THE CHILDREN YOU BORE AND RAISED !!
WE PARENTS WANT OUR FLOWERS NOW !!
NOT WHEN WE'RE SLEEP IN THE GRAVE..
