Children are a gift from above
God gave them to you to be showered with love
Some choose not to be there and leave them alone
But what they don’t realize is one day they’ll be grown
All this time they’ll never get back
These children will be bitter and that’s a fact
That parent held responsible for their heart so cold
But one day they’ll tell you-so bold
They’ll ask “Where were you when I needed you?”
“I wasn’t just some kid, I needed you too!”
“All those nights I stayed up and cried”
“And you weren’t the one there wiping my eyes”
“Someone else took the opportunity and filled that empty space”
“Even though I knew, no one could take your place”
“But now I’m not crying for you to be here”
“I realize you made a choice, made so clear”
“Living your life was more important than shaping mine”
“And as you can see I made it. Grown and Fine”
“And after today I don’t want to see you again”
“I’m no longer your child, don’t even wanna be your friend”
See parents it’s easy to SAY you’ll be there
But how many of you are actually aware
That your kids are growing and learning every day
When your child asks these questions what will you say?
This is one thing you won’t be able to lie your way out
Because they’ll remember who was there without a doubt
Evaluate your relationship, make it right
You never know if tonight is the night
That your child will say” I’m finished, you weren’t there”
“You made no effort and now I don’t care”
“A person like you I don’t need”
“All you worried about was YOUR mouth to feed”
“I’m leaving now, I’m walking away”
“Going meet who was there for me every day”
“Paint a pretty picture for someone who doesn’t know”
“I have my own life, see ya, gotta go”
