Not Deceived....But Loved

All your life
They were there for YOU
Shaping and molding
When you didn't have a clue

Before you could walk
Or form one word
Before you understood
The chirping of a bird

When you were sick
They were there
It's YOUR name they called out
When they knelt down in prayer

How could they deceive you
Is this what you ask
Where were you
When they took on this task

The best for you
Was all they had in mind
Not expecting feedback
Ungrateful faults for you to find

So what they didn't tell you
Their wisdom would not allow
Be thankful that they chose you
And appreciate them NOW
