I MISS MY PARENTS

I miss my parents with their… Affection of assurance approval Blended by their blest building-up brace Cheerfully caring midst compassion’s comfort Delighting my days, defending me against despair… I miss my parents as I thank God for them for… Exhorting me within their encouragement-enclosure Fortifying my faith from fear toward freedom-flight Governing my goals by their guiding grip Hoisting me toward hope’s haven… I miss my parents while I do my parenthood roles… Influenced by the impact they instilled Juggling jampacked schedule with jitters and joy Kindling kindness among kids for all, not only for kindred Led by love …letting it light as lingering legacy along loyalty… I miss my parents* whose presence lingers since… Muse of my poems do magnify the marvels of their memories Nurturing and nourishing me still, while in their nobility I nestle Offering optimistic opportunities against offending obstacles Presenting possibilities for parental prize so precious. *Ephesians 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

Wow, that is really impressive like a tongue twister with each new line! Also I feel the same way about my parents that yes, I miss both of them. Guess I'll meet up with them in heaven someday.

Dear beata, a very thoughtful and sincere poem woven with alliterations and assonance in the most creative manner! Its so touching and shows how much you miss and appreciate your parents still: and its never easy losing loved ones. I can sense the grief and nostalgia flowing throughout this: the love within you can be felt through this well woven poem. Love every line in this! Impeccable! May your parents soul rest in peace. Sending you light always! Congratulations on your win

I have my Dad still and am thankful for that. His compassion has come into view with my mom’s passing. I miss my mom and have to try not to think too much about it. I carry her love, try to have a better listening ear…she was excellent at this. You have written a lovely tribute of your parents influence and continued legacy! xoxo blessings ~ Kim
