Parents

A woman who sacrifices when needed
A beautiful devotion deeply seeded

A man bone weary rises to work again
A strong dedication on which one can depend

A woman all night lovingly cradles a sickly child
An amazing touch so frazzled yet still mild

A man exhausted and starving takes the time to stop and hug his little darling.

A woman back twisted and aching continues on with the supper shes making.

A man, his day hard and long patiently stops to show his son where he went wrong

A unconditional loving beauty through and through
A fortress, the strongest a family ever knew

A mother our precious gift from above
A father full of strength, understanding, and love.
