Mom & Dad

Mom

and Dad

I will say,

during my growth

and my childhood play.

You were there, there indeed

to lift me up, when in need.

Through times of pain and times of bliss,

they both were soothed with a tender kiss.

When I was down, you got rid of my frown.

And in your embrace, all my worries drown.

Now that I’m older, I clearly see,

the endless love you gave to me.

Teaching me what's right and wrong,

wise words that made me strong.

All I’ve been taught with

guidance and care,

To love, to

Live, to

Share.
