Dear Mom and Dad…

Are you the same mom and dad
I used to know?
Since I left the house… many years ago?

Both who carefully taught me the Christian ways.
Don’t seem to care what the Bible says.

You were there to give correction
with a belt in hand.
But now are doing things… I don’t understand.

What happened to the father’s love
I once seen in your eyes?
You’ve somehow twisted God's truth into lies.

You’ve broken my heart,
dear mom and dad.
I’m praying for you…
but my heart grows sad.

Please… Just this once… Listen to me!
I want the Godly parents you used to be!

Please make me proud of the
parents I once knew.
And know that I really love
and appreciate you.

You’re my mom and dad…
You’re the world to me.
And you’re special to God--it’s plain to see!

May your days be blessed and
God’s presence fill your soul.
I will always love you no matter
where you may go.

Thanks mom and dad for reading
this “special letter.”
With God on board… Things will get better!
