Life's long lessons.
Looking back counting my blessings.
If I had known what I know today.
When I was young I would not have strayed.
Looking back with hindsight.
I realise how my parents tried with all their might.
To guide me along life's path.
Wanting to spare me life's wrath.
But we all know youngsters.
They think it's cool to be a gangster.
Or see if they can break the rules.
Not realising they are but fools.
This past few weeks it struck home.
Honesty and hard work ain't a stone.
It's a sound foundation.
That does not suffer degradation.
I know we are not perfect.
But our morals we must not neglect.
What goes round comes round.
And not in half measures but pound for pound.
Yes we make our mistakes.
And we leave havoc in our wake.
But at the end of the day.
Forgiveness we plead for when we pray.
I want to thank our Father for my mom and dad.
For all the spanking I had.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
If my parents did I would be wild.
For what they had done.
Was to be instrumental in saving their son.
Today I reap the benefits of their hard work.
Now it's my turn to beware of what lurks.

Hello boet!
Cool poem. I also feel an enormous amount of gratitude to my parents. I was adopted by them when I was nine, and they saved me (literally) from being shipped off to the juvenile nut house for the duration of my childhood. I would have been pumped full of drugs and that would have been that. I owe them more than their biological children...they didn't HAVE to save me, but they CHOSE to.
Blessings brother,
Invierno |
