Some Respect

Our lives we may divide

But for once sit back and swallow your pride

We are family that's always true

No matter what we say or do

The years have pushed us miles apart

Even changed the feeling from the heart

For one of our own the end grows near

And from you they would like to hear

The separation no doubt will always be there

Still showing some respect only seems fair

One thing I know is very true

That is she never once judged you

Fault in her you all some how found

And now you just kick her while she's down

For you all I can feel is shame

Your excuses are all nothing but lame

How can you say you really care

When in her time of need your not there

So won't you please push the past aside

Dig deep and swallow your pride

Give this all a little thought

Time is something you really haven't got

Peace with God she has made

For each of you she's even prayed

So now won't you show some respect

Put a stop to the years of neglect!

All it takes is picking up the phone

Tell her, You Love Her and She's Not Alone!

Debbie Guzzi April 6, 2011 at 5:04 PM wonderful write and as we age sorry to say we have created children that do not care to remember what was done for them, even the children who were greatly loved and cared for don't seem to be able to think of anyone but themselves, it's their shame.
