Mom, Dad I'm sorry,
Your child is now a bad girl.
I'm sorry , I know you tried your best
You tried to protect me from bad influence
So you safeguarded me with moral defense
And shun at my curiosity with offence.
So my life got filled with keeness and despair
With unimaginable fear,
Yes fear that was so real and rare
It had me disintegrated in your pair.
I can't forget the first time my classmate told me he loves me.
That was in my SS3
I came home disoriented ,
Looked at my right and left
There was nobody to explain to me the meaning of love not even its theft
Mom wouldn't let me speak
Neither would dad tolerate such talk no matter the peak.
So I took to my peers and they told me their meaning of love.
The next day the boy told me to kiss him
And i did.
I felt his hands all over me
But then, i had no mother and father to tell what i did.
But every morning we pray together,
And read the scriptures together.
Mom_ Dad,
Can you forget the scripture that says train up a child in a way that she would grow
For when she's grown, she won't depart from it?
You read it , you knew it, you know it
But still forgot to tell yourself that i need the love , openness and friendship of my father and mother.
Mom, Dad,
You caged me instead of training me.
You restrained me instead of teaching me.
You made me crave and learn evil, instead of the righteousness you wanted to imbibe on me .
So when i entered university,
it opened me up to the universe
I wanted to to know the world i didn't learn from my parents.
So i joined many associations of girls
They corrupted and taught me the licentiousness part of the world.
Now i smoke , i drink , i club, i go out with men And sleep around with them.
Are you surprised?
Oh common! Spare me the tears please.
Where were you when i needed you to listen to me.
Where were you ,when i needed you to teach the world to me.
Where were you when a boy first kissed me.
Where were you when a boy first caressed me .
Mom, Dad you made me.
You only gave me the word but didn't let me learn the world .
Oh mother ,father you failed!
But wait.
I have a good news.
Just when i had gone deep into the world,
Then came Jesus offering to show me a better world.
I wanted to reject to know the better world,
But he showed the care and concern i didn't get from you mom and dad.
He showed me his love and gave me his care and time.
He told me how much he loves me and took me on a journey to his world.
Jesus saved me!
He taught me
And now i am saved .
But mom and Dad i hope you've learned?
Please give us your time,
Not just biblical lines.
Be our friends and not just our parents
Be approchable to us and raise us not in negligence.
Give us a listening ear
And don't make us to fear
Just like Jesus would teach and bear
We need your company and openness so please make us your friend.
