Push and Shove Leads To Tough Love

There's so much to figure out I can't talk or even shout The way you've changed is so surprising It's causing a huge uprising I tried to teach you right from wrong And how to be really strong Never letting the peer pressure Make you feel any lesser But this person you've become Can not be changed or undone Lying, cheating, alcohol Drugs, robbing--you've done it all Far from the way you were taught How did you become so caught And involved in such nonsense It's becoming way to tense For me to handle anymore Locks are changed on all the doors No more teen drama will enter Now tough love will be the center Of your days until you see How much better you can be Returning back to who I raised Getting lots of love and praise Letting go of all the feelings That turned you into a demon I'll be thrilled the day that you Return to me honest and true

Tough times when a teen enters the rebellious stage. Many ways to be pulled and many avenues to take. All you can hope for is their safe return. Never blame yourself. Our children will make their own decisions. Tough love is hard but sometimes necessary. God bless you , my friend.... Robert.
