God Cant You Change These Grandchildren

GOD Can’t You Change These Grandchildren? GOD can’t you change these grandchildren? You were there when they were born You fed them Changed their diapers Followed them and their parents around the United States and some foreign countries You studied with them Went to school with them Gave them money, praise, and love And never a word of thanks GOD can’t you change these grandchildren They get on Facebook and Skype Saying nobody has ever done anything for me Did they give birth to themselves? They didn’t have jobs, did they provide for themselves? You bought prom dresses, caps and gowns, furniture, and paid fees God can’t you change these grandchildren? You pray for them You offer them comfortable places to sleep You try to show them how wonderful and valuable they are And yet they don’t believe GOD can’t you change these grandchildren? You bought postage stamps for them so that they could write you Not one letter did you receive You sent invitations to celebrate and come and visit They wanted you to pay for boyfriends and other kin And now that they are adults that are full of rage and pain How dare tell the world a lie Nobody ever did anything for me How dare they have babies and never bring them to visit But when they need money here come the sob story GOD can’t you change these grandchildren? Love is unconditional; I really believe that’s true So what about a phone call, a hit on Facebook, a text, a tweet? An Instagram just to say I love you, or I’m fine, I’m okay Post a picture or a happy birthday I love you grandchildren Maybe one day I’ll do something and you can stop saying and posting Nobody ever did anything for me Love GOD and your Grandmother ’t You Change These Grandchildren?
