Parents



What is a shoulder it's something to cry on,
What is a Mother, she's one to rely on.
What is a Father, a man of solution.
The people you turn to for that resolution.

You often ignore the good that they give,
When you lose all the motive and reason to live.
You hide in the closet, keep everything hidden,
Afraid to confess to what is forbidden.

But what you don't notice, is that they are there,
No motive no reason, except that they care.
So take full advantage of this wondrous gift,
I never had none such, you getting my drift.
