Pls admit that we are God's gift
We are not slaves to you
Our lives are not tied to you
We could have chosen
To be with another parent
But out of his compassion
He gave you me
No one is perfect
Not even you
Perfection does not happenin a day
We ought to make mistakes
And learn from them
When you were a child
Would you deny that you never made mistakes
Absolutely NO
So what's the purpose of getting mad at us
When we make mistakes.
Gone are the days
When parents understand feelings
And know our strength and weakness
Most 21st century parents are good in criticising their wards
Instead of correcting them in love
We have treasures in us
Play your role in discovering them.
Don't be a chameleon.
White outside, black inside
Let us know exactly who you are
Stop the pretence
Who does it help?
Be responsible
If you want us to be responsible
Be the perfect example
We ought to follow
Do what is right
So that we can copy from you
And not from others
It all starts from you
Even though holy book said it
Train your child
In the way he should GO
That he would depart from it
When he is old
Well, I ain't trying to blame parents
Neither am I saying they ain't trying
In their efforts to raise us as godly children.
The Real truth is
Parents need to wake up
Not to past or present
But to realize that
We own tommorow
Yesterday was for the ancestors
Today is for you
Tommorow is for us
Train us so that we will always Remember you for good and not bad
And we will surely honor you
So that we can live long.
