If I Did Not Love You

A poem for every parent. If I didn’t love you, would I say I care? Would it matter where you going or what you have to wear? If I didn’t love you, would I want to hear? Everything you did today while I hold you near. If I didn’t love you, would I ever say? “Come let’s kneel down and thank our Lord for yet another day.” If I didn’t love you, would I say goodnight? Would I tuck you in your bed before switching off the light? If I didn’t love you, when you feeling ill. Would I take your temperature while you suffering with the chill? If I didn’t love you, would I stick around? Listen to your cruel insults, fighting on this battleground. If I didn’t love you, would I let you go? Praying that you’ll see the light and know I love you so.
