Givers

They give you blood of their heart And water of their life to make you rise to might They shelter you with their shadows From the shower of dangerous snakes and arrows They stay awake all night when you are unwell Pray to God to make you well They make sure to give you meat While they eat leaves, and so they repeat They walk with the pace of your tiny feet And shine with the melody of your every heart beat All they do ___ is to think of you All they want ___ is a successful You! You are their oxygen, and the sail of their boat God bless these givers __God bless every parent 23rd sept. 2020

I do so absolutely agree with my friend Harry- "an amazing poem".. As a father myself, I see the beauty, truth and reality in this fine poem. We love our children more than we do ourselves. Which is as it was meant to be.. A fav.. God bless...

Indeed, parents devote their whole life to their kids, but unfortunately, only a few of them appreciate the sacrifices of their parents!

Your very beautiful and wonderful poetic words do honour not only every single parent but also every human being, worthy of the name, who rejoices in the beauty and fulfilling feel of the act of giving.. to give is to live.. A great pleasure to read so meaningful a work, Paghunda! My deepest regards and blessings to you.
