Dad and Mom

mom always believes on whatever
I often see she entrusts to the night
pair of hands, feet, heads and even
entire innards of the stomach
then she could just fall to restful of sleep 

dad is very different
he did not want to entrust even a finger on anything
father is a formidable walker
he never stops on whatsoever
he sustains all hands, feet, head
even the innards of his stomach that kept mounting
in the shoulder and head
therefore I often see my father erupts
like a water balloon

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
