My Prayer

Dear God hear me now I beg of you please

Listen to me now I am on my knees

A figure of speech but these next lines are not

Let my parents know that I love them a lot

I have a beautiful mother

And a wonderful father

There unlike any other

Who’d know I’d be a bother

I say and mean I love you both so very much

For seventeen years you’ve had a parents touch

I remember giving my mom a ribbon as a child

It said, “Number one mom” and I actually smiled

You still are mom and I mean that from my heart

You’re always number one on my mother chart

Dad I remember your anger and frustration

But I think it was, “I love you” in your translation

I know that I’ve made my wrong choices and actions

There’s no excuse for my deeds, not even distractions

I say this and my intentions are for the best

But I think this family is a bit depressed

It’s not just me but my mom and my dad

Over the years I’ve grown to be angry and sad

You brought home from work all your anger and stress

I’m thinking it rubbed off on me, but it’s just a guess

I expected you both to do what you normally do

I don’t mean any harm just know that it’s true

Actually I do apologize, to this family of three

I’m sorry that your unhappiness rubbed off on me

I won’t commit suicide lets not jump to conclusions

I made a promise death is not in my illusions

So please no hospitals, I have been there enough

I don’t want to go back my past there is rough

I know it’s because you both love me but I think I am through

My final words in this poem is, “I love the both of you”
