Love Poem: To Mom and Dad

To Mom and Dad

Finding fault in all you do
I hope to please the very few

The two that brought you to this life
Seem to cut you like a knife

They just don’t seem to really know
Their judgments hurt you very so

Wishing you could reach their mind
Help them understand, be kind

Wanting them so badly to
Accept and love the inner you

Don’t they know that life brings change
You never stay forever same

How can I get thru to them
Tell me now, I can’t pretend

Can’t describe the pain you feel
They just don’t see, it’s there, it’s real

You question if they still love you
The saddest thought you ever knew

Can’t they see the hurt create
Wonder why they take the stake

If they read this, they will see
That this is me, will always be

The daughter that they raised and cared
The same kind soul, the one that’s scared

Always dreaming what could be
If only they would see me for me

There are things we don’t agree
But this is part of life, you see

Open up your heart and mind
To my world and life be kind

I need this from you mom and dad
Come back to me, and don’t be mad

I love you both with all my heart
Don’t want to live our lives apart.
