I came into this world before you
And watched every step you took
And every single move you made
I carried you on my back
Tickled you when you cried
And fed you when you were hungry
I saw you off to school
Helped you with your homework
And prayed that you be successful in life
And now child
Here you are
Swearing that
You don’t know me!

@Y'all, thanks for visiting and have a lovely weekend.
In the words of Nigerian Comedians - "The pikin don disfather the parent". - In opposition to the Parent disowning the child.

Thats when you realise that the parenting is over and time to make friendship. :)
Great poem...I totally wasn't expecting that last line...LOL
It's true. Long ago, I heard of a story of a man whose poor parents struggled to educate. He became successful, got a good job in town and married a lovely wife.
Ironically, he forgot his parents. In their humble clothing, they went to see him in town. He ordered his servant to spray their feet with antiseptic before he allowed them into his 'lovely house.' Reason? They would infect him with jiggers.
If you remember Judas Iscariot? This piece is applicable to him as well.
@ comrade, I checked it out, it was great!
@maxine, parents go thru alot but they never give up.
@sage, it is painful.
@seejmasinde, true, we should never forget our routes however much we succed in lie. Hey! I've started taking warm water.
