Witness And Judge, Part Two

(For Parents Dead Or Alive)

Who else would have worked so hard for us Or spent so much of their own lives prompting us Not to overspend or underwash or eat that stinky cheese! It may be tempting to be venal and resent how often They nailed us for mere venial sins, but do we recall And admit who saved us from killing ourselves as kids Or, later, from living in debt or jail Or in a dirty home or in the street? rcs.
