Respecting Parents

Why do you disobey?
The laws of God each day;
Not keeping what is taught,
For living as you ought.

Give mom and dad respect,
What they say not reject;
If you want to rebel,
Then you shall go to Hell.

Regardless if wrong or right,
Do not argue or fight;
God lets them decide,
How you should abide.

You will have much time,
Of what is a crime;
Walking out the door,
Older and mature.

So when you transgress,
The Lord can not bless;
And not see His Kingdom,
Disobey their wisdom.
