CHILDREN SHOULD NOT ALLOW THEIR PARENTS TO CRY
"Children, hear me today! Don't let your parents cry because of you! Your mama carried you 9 months, your papa suffered for you, don't make them cry now that you have grown!"
"My sons and daughters, listen to me with open heart!
*1. DON'T LET YOUR PARENTS CRY BECAUSE OF DISRESPECT.
Your mother is talking, you are shouting at her. Your father is advising you, you are walking out. My child, you are making your parents cry! The same mouth that prayed for you, you are using to insult them? Stop!
*2. DON'T LET YOUR PARENTS CRY BECAUSE YOU FORGOT THEM.
When you were small, they sold their wrapper to feed you. Now you have money, you have fine phone, you have big life, but you forgot mama and papa in the village. You don't call, you don't send, you don't visit. Your parents are crying silently, my child!
*3. DON'T LET YOUR PARENTS CRY BECAUSE OF YOUR LIFESTYLE.
Some children are drinking, smoking, following bad friends, sleeping around, fighting in the street. Your mother is on her knees every night crying for you! Your father is ashamed! Change your ways, my child, before it is too late!
*4. REMEMBER THEIR SACRIFICE.
Your mama didn't sleep when you were sick. Your papa trekked under hot sun to pay your school fees. They suffered! Now they are old, their only prayer is to see you do well and show them love! Don't break their heart!
*5. BLESS THEM WHILE THEY ARE ALIVE.
Don't wait till they die to buy big coffin and do big burial! What is coffin when you didn't give them food when alive? Call them today! Send them something today! Visit them today! Wipe their tears today.
My children, if your parents are still alive, you are blessed! Go and make them smile today! Because one day, you will want to hear their voice again, and you won't hear.
