A Prayer for My Love

"What did I do wrong?"

This is a question that I kept on asking myself. Did I do something wrong that my loves go wild? Did I do something to make them do things unneccessarily on themselves? What?! I thought I am doing my best to make them better people but why do they keep on dissapointing me?

Why do they have to do things that can destroy their humanity?

Why can't they be responsible enough to take care of themselves?

Why do they have to make themselves miserable?

Why can't they take into consideration their own sake?

Does small amount of fame go into their head?

Did I taught them to be proud?

I can't take it anymore!

I thought I am doing good because they show me their good sides. They show me that they can be responsible. They show me that they have respect for their elders. They show me that they listen to me. They show me that they care for each other. They show me that they are tough enough to be beaten. They show me that they can be better if they try harder, but what happens when I am not looking?

I want them to be responsible. I want them to have self-discipline. I want them to become independent.

I just want them to become good people someday. People whom their teachers can be proud of. People whom their parents can lean on. People whom the community will look upon. That is all I am asking. Is it hard to grant?

Lord, please... that is all I am asking... just to make them better people. Please...
