Alexandrine, Modified - I Was Taught

 
My mother and father,
taught me about power,

words and inspiration, 
courage, strength and passion,

wish it could be bottled,
because all are entitled,

dad gave me the forest,
mom- her garden terraced.

Nothing is more lovely than parents that inspire their child to grow, and what a wonderful poem you have blessed us all with, Constance, much enjoyed . . . : )

Paul, thank you for the comment, yes my parents were wonderful, I never realized how special they were until I found out others did not have such supportive parents, happy that your parents were like mine _Constance
