Needed
Author: Bernadete F. Leal
Mom and dad, I’m home
We’re busy
Can’t you see?
I will watch TV
On the phone, killing time
Video Games, I’m fine
Mom and dad pleasing me
With every gift I see
At the door, someone knocks
Come in, do sit down
No time for you now
Busy with our wants
Busy with our needs
Ignore the guest
Indeed
Time flies
Children grow
Loved children
Graduated children
Selfish children
Rude children
Raised on what they wanted
Not on what they needed
What awaits?
Parents wonder
Ignored for many years
The guest is still there
Waiting patiently,
What you needed
Christ, loving you
forever
Is it too late?
Never
