Stepdad Poetry ~ From Your Stepchildren
This sentimental piece is an original from writer and author Lilly Babineau, Canada
From Your Stepchildren
We give you the cold shoulder
And act like we don’t care
It’s not that we don’t like you
We just don’t want to share
Our mom has been our rock
Since our dads left us alone
She’s worked hard to raise us right
When he won’t even answer the phone
When you came around things changed
And two families become one
Our mom was spending time with you
Our quality time was done.
We told you that we hated you
And gave you lots of trouble
We kicked and screamed and threw a fit
If you tried more it would double
But, you helped us with our homework
Took us on family trips
Soon we didn’t mind so much
And away went our quips.
You showed us kindness and took the time
To teach us right from wrong
It took us a while to realize
That you loved us all along.
Now we are a family,
And at the end of the day,
You still are part of our lives
And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
