Father and Mother, I Love You

Father and Mother, I Love You

When the conversion began

I didn’t know it would have

Led to that big of argument

There were tears, yells, and peace

I sat there as the words surrounded me

Watched my sister cry in front of all of them

As I knew it would happen

I don’t know how to explain my family

But we have our own connection

People may think they know it

But really they don’t, they never will

I don’t have to make you understand

I don’t have to give you their reasons

My parents raised us a certain way

I’m not going to be disappointed

Because we were raised right

We aren’t out doing drugs

Well the three of us aren’t

We didn’t get pregnant at 15

None of us got into a gang or shot

Yeah, we are 23, 22, and 21

And we got to be home at a certain time

There’s nothing but trouble out there at 2am

We shouldn’t be out, but we do it anyway

My parents give their input, but they don’t get mad anymore

Because we are of age, we are adults

For you to say that my parents aren’t understanding

And they are wrong for what they do

Doesn’t make you right to think or say

As I said before, I won’t apologize for my parents

Every family is different in a lot of ways

Everyone is raised in other ways

How dare you to question my parents

My sister’s held back, but I didn’t

I said what needed to be said

I stood up for our family

As I did so, they noticed

I spoke such honor for my family

They accepted it, they understood

But I wasn’t hoping or wishing they would

Because it is what it is

Our family as this bond

That no one will understand or get

And sure as hell will never break
