The Empty Nest

The poem conveys the message that children should appreciate their parents' love and sacrifice, and not neglect them in their old age.

I gave them life and love and care

I watched them grow and learn and dare

I held them close and let them go

I hoped they'd always remember so

But now they're far and seldom call

They don't reply to my texts at all

They have their own and busy life

They don't need me as a parent in this life

I feel the ache of being alone

I miss the warmth of their voices and tone

I wonder if they ever think of me

Or if I'm just a distant memory

I know they have to live their way

I know I can't make them stay

But please don't forget that I'm still here

And please don't forget that I still care
