LET’S WhatsApp MOM AND DAD


Dad thank you for always being so strong, gentle and kind,
Mum thank you for all your love, your patience blows my mind,
Dad we all know that you’ll protect us with your life,
Mom our home is cozy, dad is lucky you are his wife,
You both work hard, but your money you spend wisely,
Myself, Ben and Fred hope we treat you lovingly and nicely,
To love and cherish you is what you deserve, wonderful 
That you give to the poor, it helps them open many a door,
Hope we do the same one day, you have taught us well,
Will always remember your warm guidance, will always tell,
Dad your job takes you near or far, but your love is always felt,
Its magnetic, so assuring, so inspiring, my heart wants to melt,
And mum you show your love in everything you do, or say,
Each hug, each kiss, each phone call that you make, each day,
Will forever be with us, we will get married and have children,
Extending our family, spreading our love and thanking God,
We are blessed to have parents like you, all three of us are awed.

Sometimes I don't read entire pieces. This I read entirely. I would say they followed the rules. And you addresed it quite well. IO especially liked the Mum part that made it personal. Good job.

Hi John, so glad you enjoyed my poem - writing it took me back several decades to when I was a boarder at school in my Matric year. My mother wrote me a letter once a week and my Dad also every week, but on different days of the week so i got a lot of mail from them. Great parents they both were. Hugs Jennifer
