GRATITUDE’S LATE ARRIVAL
you’ll never know the price we paid
to get you where you are
you’ll never know what it took
to bring you along this far
so if your lack of gratitude
is some strange way of giving back
we’ll check the rear view mirror
until your attitude’s back on track
we will love you from a distance
as we have for all these years
in time you’ll learn life’s lessons
of pain and loss and tears
and when you finally learn gratitude
for all that’s been done for you
we hope you know what real love means
before your karmic bill comes due
farewell my child we let you go
it’s your life to lead so go ahead
may your dreams all come sweetly true
and may you understand
the horseshit you’ve been fed
