After getting in trouble last night, our 13-year-old daughter brought my husband this poem: You think you can change me I'm telling you now, just give up I love God, that will never change but you doubt me, thinking I'm locked up in chains I know I'm a disappointment, and you wish I wasn't here But don't worry, as soon as I'm out I'll never come back So why don't you just let me fade to black I'll never crawl back to my mommy and daddy I don't care if you call me stupid I'm sick of all the times you've mocked me I know this person sounds like shit So might as well just forget it |
I'm telling you now, just give up
Your dad and I have no desire to change who you are. You are intelligent and creative, with a compassionate heart. We love you just as you are. As your parents, we desire,and are commanded by God to guide your life toward glorifying God, which will also include attempting to instill Biblical morals and character training. Our goal is not to change who you are, but to help prevent your flesh from bringing pain and hardship into your life and to encourage you to seek God's amazing plan and purpose for you as an individual. You think you can change me |
