Dear Mom and Dad

Are you the same mom and dad I used to know? Since I left the house… many years ago? Both who carefully taught me the Christian ways. Don’t seem to care what the Bible says. You were there to give correction with a belt in hand. But now are doing things… I don’t understand. What happened to the father’s love I once seen in your eyes? You’ve somehow twisted God's truth into corruptible lies. You’ve broken my heart dear mom and dad. I’m praying for you… but my heart grows sad. Please… Just this once… Listen to me! I want the Godly parents you used to be! Please make me proud of the parents I once knew. And know that I really love and appreciate you. You’re my mom and dad… You’re the world to me. And you’re special to God... It’s plain to see! May your days be blessed and God’s presence fill your soul. I will always love you no matter where you may go. Thanks mom and dad for reading this “special letter.” With God on board… Things will get better! By Jim Pemberton 2007
