Parents

I found a treasure
That does not give me pleasure
My parents are far away
I realize what a treasure I gave away
They provided everything, 
But I didn’t give anything
Supported me, took care of me
You know who did bad thing to them?
I left them, yeah it’s me!
I traded my parents’ love
I thought it was well above
Let’s say I didn’t have a love
How do I repay? 
Nine months of pregnancy
Around twenty year of tenancy
I may travel around the world
Become richest one in the world
But, don’t think I can give the world
As a payback to my parents
That I used to be so cold
Average life is seventy or eighty 
But our plans are placed in infinity 
Selfishness takes away from parents
Egotism makes a way out of parents
Don’t set the currency first
Hence put the parents first
Just before smashing with a wall
Well before children become tall
Call, call your mother, tell your father
Tell nobody replaces them, no one other  
Chain of my words may seem to you 
Nothing at all…
Remember my words parents are reason
 We exist at all…
 I found a treasure 
I’ll hold it with my pleasure
Parents are Priceless Treasure…
