My Parents

I love to hear my father's laugh When he thinks something's funny I really love to make him laugh Because he's such a comedian I love how hard my mother works When she has a goal, she achieves it I love how judgemental she is at the t.v. It just makes me laugh I love that I'm the perfect mixture of them My lower face is Mom My eyes and forehead are all Dad Only they left me out on being tall I love that family is sacred to them That they'll always help us if they can I love how supportive they are I wish they could know how grateful I am

We do have a habit of taking in pretty much anybody as family so you're welcome to try lol

If they don't know already, Janet, show them by the way you live your life. Actions speak louder than words. I love this poem because you love your family. Great write and a wonderful tribute to your mom and dad.

Thank you so much. I actually live with them and I hope that I'm doing things that show them how much I love them all the time. I've changed a lot since moving in to respect them but I really try hard to show them I love them
