To My Parents...

Together you came, in precious love Collecting your feelings on a lonely altar And were joined under our God above Forever still, I pray your love not falter Grinding in the great wheels of time You shoved off on a humble beginning Then, in the nightly morning, there was a chime And together you brought me into the world of the living I was a chubby gourd, in a field of expectation And together you watered me well with love And rightfully chided me, when come subordination You gave me the power of knowledge and the heart of a dove Together, you both have prepared me for life And life has come to pluck me from you Together, you both have taught me to fight it’s strife And its strife has come to make me miss you To my mother, who cares more than any I have ever known Thank you for the love of life To my father, who is stead fast and dowdy, to the likes I’ve never known Thank you for the will to live
