Parent Poem

Parents give so much to their children and expect nothing in return but it's nice when they receive some recognition from their children.

Ever-Lasting Love

© Jion K. Paine
Today I realized how selfish I was
Hard to accept? Oh, yes it was'
I expect a thank you for the little things I do,
And yet I have never said a single word for the big things you do
I then grumble of the sacrifices I made,
when you did something that can never be paid.
I am so embarrassed,
I don't know what to say.
I can't believe
I'm making the same mistakes.
The amazing thing is
after all I have done
you still love me for being your son.
