An Ode To Mom And Dad

You gave me birth, taught me to talk;

Holding my finger, you made me walk.

And then came friends, people of my age;

Slowly I moved to, my life's next stage.

Playing in the rain, I used to get ill;

But without any complaints, you nurtured me still.

Some things not to be done, was told by you;

Out of curiosity, I still used to do,

And then I came to you, bruised and battered;

You were there with me, always when it mattered.

Sacrifices you made, for my better future;

Gratitude to you, was still not in my nature,

Young and naive I was, nothing I knew;

You guided me throughout, till mature I grew.

Independent I became, took my own decision;

Your support was although there, there was never any cessation.

When upset I grew, it hurt you the most;

When happy I was, your joy knew no bounds.

A smile on my face, would make your day;

You never let any trouble, come my way.

Words are insufficient, to completely describe you;

For people like you, are extremely few.

Nothing much I can do, to repay your debt;

All I can do, is say 'Thank You',

Thank you mom, Thank you dad;

You are the best, anybody could ever have had.

Anybody could ever have had!
