MY LOVE.. MY LIFE...

I walk and they say I run

I start and they say I have done

I dream and they say I have become

you are wrong if you think

they are haughty

you are wrong if you think

they are boastful

they are those pious souls

without whom I am...

an undiscovered shell on the shore

a hapless being

a useless thing

they give me strength

they give me power

they wipe away my tears

before I cry...

they mould and shape

they stitch and scrape

to make me virtuous 

and I become lustrous

what I am I could never be

without the blessings they bequeath on me

they have enormous trust and faith in me...

and I'll try to never let them down

I'll be their pride

because they are not just my parents

they are my love! they are my life!

This is a very true poem about how our parents help to encourage us. They try to keep us going in the right direction and give us guidance that makes us better people or doesn't allow us to give up. This is a wonderful poem about parents. Not about the hugs and smile but about the side of them that wants us to accomplish our dreams and to make a good life for ourselves. I love how you chose to write this poem. Great job.
