81 Ode to My Parents

81.

Ode to My Parents



Come, tell me

How better your parents can be



I do not say I've got

The perfect ones and you're not



It's just that I want to boast

The people who are to me host



They are my Nanay & Tatay

Who will never allow me to die



It's only for them I offer my years

I spent for nothing maybe, but full of cheers



I may not look cheerful

But my heart with hope is full



They didn't want to make me hungry

And want to give the best they can be



Whatever bad things or words they get from me

However good to others I may seem to be



It's only my parents who have my best love.
