Dear Mama, Dear Papa

Dear Mama, I know now its a bit different Beautiful cards and serenades, for you it was sufficient

I loved seeing your contagious smile

Never imagined your presence was just for a while

Now you're resting and I'm thankful for the early lessons learned

You're my idol, my inspiration and was always my main concern

And your absence aches my chest like a cigarette burn

But you've left me in great hands in return
 

Dear Papa, thank you & I know you don't hear that often

You were given this rare role without caution

And everything you've taught me can never be forgotten

The person I am is because of you

And you hide what you secretly go through 

To give me and my little sister a better view

And that's something I've learned from both of you and look up to

Happy Mothers Day to my both parents 

One taking care of me from above

And another guiding me with love.
