Damned, This Child

by Kathleen Brien

You raised three kids morals so strong, they don’t need a Lord to justify them. You raised three kids who avoid being assholes not because someone said to them “Son, be kind to those below you, to those less fortunate, the sinners, them wretched non-believers.”

You raised three kids who screw up and don’t think to be forgiven because “God forgives them”your kids claim responsibility. You raised these three kids who can think to and for themselves inside their shame, and outside of hymnals.

You raised three kids, and all you can say is “Christ, where did we go wrong?”
