My “parent” loves me!
As a child
I never knew
How to answer
How to be true
About a particular question
“Do your parents love you?”
During lesson
Why or should I say who?
Was to blame
No one in particular
Maybe I’m just being lame
But the teacher
Placed me in a spot
A funny thought
Questioning myself a lot
“Do my parents love me or not?”
I stood up in class
Unable to answer
Finally at last
I managed to stutter
“I don’t have parents!’
“Liar!” they said!
“I don’t have parents!”
To me no attention was paid
After school
I went home crying
Looking like a fool
I wasn’t lying
Why didn’t they believe me?
When what I said was true
That night I asked Daddy
What happened after he said: “I do!”
“We had you, breaking up, we had to!”
I sobbed: “So do you love me?”
“Of course I do!”
The next day, no longer blue
I sat in class
The teacher asked me
I felt a must
To answer the question again
I tired to shout
My Daddy loves me
But it came out
As “my parent love me”
It was wrong
It sounded wrong
Now I knew
My parents love...that’s not true
I kinda was thinking about single parent kids, and whether or not they can be truly loved.
Do not mix this up with children who lose a parent due to natural causes, here my primary focus is on divorce.
Mutual consented parting from both parents.
I was just wondering if the child would be able to grasp a concept of my father/mother loving me yet not wanting to be with my dad and me/ my mom and me.
Which all the more emphasis the church's teaching against divorce.
But what if your spouse was abusive? Pray?
See..thats me...looking all emo against the sun rise.
