they are parents and they say <br />they know what love is about. <br />but! they don't hear their <br />children scream and shout. <br /> <br />all they see and feel is the love <br />they have for one another. <br /> <br />for they are blind and can not see <br />the hurt upon their children <br />and the pain that they are in <br />when no love is shown from within. <br /> <br />children should be shown love every day <br />and words of encouragement in every way. <br /> <br />when they go away to school <br />and they need to hear your words of praise <br />or 'a call' to see if they're alright. <br />it is not much of a plight. <br /> <br />pick up that phone and let them know <br />the choice they made, is the way to go. <br />and if they need with someone to talk to <br />pick up the phone, thats all they have to do. <br /> <br />you are the parent and must set the example <br />of what love is all about <br />do not wait for them to scream and shout. <br /> <br />what if they never let you know <br />just what they feel <br />and their love you have to steal. <br />to climb into the backs of their hearts <br />and to make a new start. <br /> <br />is this the example that you set? <br />you will lose them <br />on that you can bet. <br /> <br />what happens when your spouse is gone? <br />will their love still hold on. <br />or will you have turned them away <br />because you had nothing to say. <br /> <br />open your heart and show them you care <br />for later on, they'll be right there.<br /><br />louis rams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/parents-deaf-ears/
