Resolution - 1999

Pray they fear not for the child who still cries He weeps tears that heal, that run free and drain And flow from a fountain once full of pain Cleansing his soul as the salt purifies Pray they now rest and know he relies On lessons they taught that will always remain And see that their labors have not been in vain Affirmed by new wisdom shown in his eyes Pray they rejoice that a prodigal son Who stumbled back home to sister and brother Keeps one Commandment now humble and glad Pray this New Year there is surely someone Who's proud to honor his father and mother And honored to love his dear mom and dad *Written at the request of my parents who wanted me to write them a poem for New Years
