My Child

Will you kindly show me your sympathy?
I am so lonely and helpless today.
You're my baby once, I'd shown empathy.
Will you kindly show me your sympathy?
I had felt your pains by telepathy,
I do not know, today, you feel that way.
Will you kindly show me your sympathy?
I am so lonely and helpless today.

“Honor your father and mother” (This is the first commandment with a promise)
(Ephesians 6:2)

WoW! Christuraj, What a well written and heartfelt about honoring your parents. I can picture an elderly woman who has been neglected by her grown child. It is so sad. Congratulations on a well deserved win:-)Alexis
