Love On A Parent Poem by Elisha De La Rosa

What do you say to your father?
How would you touch your mother's heart
With the words of hate coming from your mouth
The relationship with them is going south

Slowly building a wall
Between them and you
But in a instant it comes crashing down
And on the other side, your parents are now gone

For their love for you is so great
You can't count how many sacifices they have made
Yet, your hateful words turn it all down
Tomorrow they are now gone

You have burden them with words today
For tomorrow your parents shall take them, to their graves
Shame and greif fills your heart
For the last words you told them shall set you and them apart

Guilty your are, once they lower
The coffins six feet underground
Darkness have devour
Them, for earth they are forever bound

Apology is no longer acceptable
A other reckless child used the carelessness of words
All these mix emotions are no longer containable
Because your parents have taken them to the dirt

But don't think you are unforgiven
Don't think of the depression, only the happiness
Your parents have given
They don't want to leave your heart broken

Their spirits are up there
They are still looking after you
For their love for you is so great
There shall no longer be hate

The love of a parent is strong
But it depends on the love on the parent
To continue building a bond
Watch what you say, because tomorrow they may be gone

Love your parents
For your parents teached
You to show respect and love
Your love is what is needed
To continue the bond
