Parents – Monday 16th April 2001

Parents

when you have got none
it is hard to complain
when others talk
and place the blame
be grateful you have them
be grateful for them
especially if you have never been let down
the little things seem to matter
emotions are like hope
both get bruised and battered
when you are let down
by those that matter
when others talk
and complain about them
you have to laugh
when yours are not there
and seem more related to the past
when you have got none
it is hard to complain
when you are picking up teeth
and thinking of a refrain
