Parents who are disappointed in their children should, many times, be looking in the mirror.
Your Children By Franklin Price 3/21/2016 Your children are your legacy They are your heart and soul What you are is part of them It's written on the scroll Provide for them the best you can Mold them to what you want to see Then let them grow to be themselves Be the ones they want to be Give love that's unconditional In hopes they'll give it back Don't think that they don't care for you For something that you lack Don't blame your troubles on them They're not the parents here What you see is what you've raised The responsibility is clear If ever ties are loosened And noses out of joint Remember you're the parent Somehow you've helped to reach this point So get over how you're feeling Tighten knots and fix the nose After all you are the parent And they're children that you chose Children they are always Yet grow up and off they go Don't become that foolish parent Who has children they don't know
