Who's the Boss?

I was thinking of my wonderful mother, today;
Remembering how she taught me to pray and obey.

She often said, "No," and I would cry.
I whined and pouted without changing her mind.

Today, our children have the upper hand.
They know just what to do for their parents to give in.

It is interesting to see who runs the show.
The children are the ones that tell the parents where to go.

Children, listen to your parents and do what is right.
They have been there and have seen the light.

I am so thankful that my mother was boss.
She was not afraid to discipline me, regardless of the cost.

Parents, you are the boss. If you do not stand firm,
IT WILL BE YOUR CHILDREN'S LOSS!!!
