Memories
As kids, we fell and you
Helped us up.
My mother, unemployed, tended to our every need.
As kids, we fell and you
Yelled and made us do it again.
My father, employed, suffocated our souls.
As teens, we needed love advice.
My mother explained consequences of our actions.
As teens we needed love advice.
My father explained the "four F's".
Now as adults,
We only include our mother in our lives.
Wonder why?
