On Forgiving Mom and Dad...

Daddy used to love me,
My mommy used to too,
But life got a little rough for them
And they had other things to do.

Not sure if they forgot me,
Or if they did not care,
But whenever they were needed
You bet they weren't there.

One day daddy left us for drink
And mom was all alone.
She found comfort in her drinking,
And therefore was never home.

Then came all the men with whom
She tried to fill the void,
But then they all would leave her,
Because with me they'd be annoyed.

Mommy then resented me,
somehow for being born,
So I found comfort in other things
So I didn't feel so torn.

Then I met Jesus
And finally I'm home.
He forgave me for my sins
And in my heart he roams.

I know that He will help me
To forgive my mom and dad
But to look back upon it
Still makes me very sad.

I have now filled the void
That mom and dad so long ignored,
But they both are still struggling
With what they were before.

I ask you now sweet Jesus
To grab ahold their hands
That they may come to know you
And love that for which you stand

I don't have much to offer you,
Since everything you made
But I would give my life
So that these two souls be saved.
