Misconstrued Thoughts : Yesterday's Misconstrued Thoughts Today

Funny, me and Jeremy wrote similar things. Well, this is just a friendly reminder to find your parents and go and give them a hug and then let them know you appreciate them.

It took me 21 years to understand,
that all you wanted was for me to be a man.
I used to yell at you, we had so many fights,
so many nights,
I'd cry and swear I was the one in the right.
I wish then I had known,
that the love that you'd shown
was in what you had provided.
I swear I used to think you lived to hide it.
When the fact that I'm here is proof,
that you loved me and to tell the truth,
you've always given me more than I deserved,
even though at restaurants I couldn't have dessert
it was because you knew that it wasn't healthy.
And even though we were never wealthy,
you always gave me a roof and clothes,
even when we used to share those,
there was never a suit that I couldn't wear,
because you were teaching me how to share.
You tried to teach me mechanics and cars,
how to use my hands and the value of working hard,
I don't want you to die before I appreciated you.
This is for all the time I felt like I hated you,
I know that I never could have meant it.
Sometimes youth can make a young mind demented.
You'll never see this, but I just figured out how,
to be half the man that my father is.
I have to be twice the man that I am now.

Here's somethng I wrote just now. I see no one's got anything to post today, I figured I'd only be the third worst.

Parents are
Pretty cool
Unless they
Are not being
Cool

Thank you.
