LEGEND THAT'S COMMENDABLE THROUGH PARENTS' LEGACY

Gracious fortress of caring fortitude Guarding by their compassion’s latitude Governing to soar through faith’s latitude Guiding with attitude of gratitude… God blest our parents’ love-packed magnitude! Daddy’s chromosomes in his fatherhood Blended with Mama’s genes midst motherhood Nourishing fully healthy babyhood Toward fruitful nurture of adulthood… Yes, we salute their faithful parenthood! With Dad and Mom’s steadfast, sweet partnership Around strong and endearing fellowship We, their children did learn wise stewardship With glad followship and joyous worship… Creating in us servant-leadership! Good provider always – that’s Father Gearing housekeeping skills of Mother Indeed complementing each other With their home-craftmanship together… They’re role models to me, Sis and Brother! Along their driving mentorship force We’re trained to enjoy our daily course To work well, shutting slothfulness’ doors Warned against problems brought by debt-source… Around contentment and commitment discourse! As masterpieces’ molders, so clear Dad and Mom with guidance, very near Kept us counseled midst precepts we hear To face functionally pressure-tear… Oh, they propelled us with righteous steer! In their consistent life-building zest They sought God’s instructions for what’s best Shaping behaviour toward finest For virtues crest, inside values’ nest… Praying for our future, vibrantly blest! Championing kindness against hatred’s pain Dad and Mom let us savour pardon-gain With forgiveness pursuit, sans guilt’s stain Freeing our hearts from bitterness-strain… Making our home thrive in heaven’s domain! They’re not perfect since we saw them pout Sometimes, their assertions made us doubt But they never failed to reach us out With beware cautions against wrong route… Now, we are on right track; “Thanks so much.” We shout! As great heroes in their own right My parents* radiated truth’s light Constructing sturdy legacy-height Victorious by the Lord’s grace and might… Along priceless name yon treasures’ delight!
