Father & Mother
God has already blessed me
or having parents like you
Which makes me want to live my life
All the way through
I would like to say a prayer
For you to always know
How much I care for you
Which sometimes I never show
I'll for always love you
For taking care of me
I'll forever remember the few
Who aren't so lucky
You have taught me so much,
That so little I know
That will help all the way through my life
Your advice will never go
Thank you for what you have done for me
Thank you for what you have made me see
Although sometimes I don't agree
I have come to realize
That your words are like a guarantee
From the day we are born, our parents spend their lives trying to bring up, nourish, teach and develop us into the greatest human beings they can possibly make them. They do whatever is in their hands to see that the needs of their children are met. Parents make unconditional sacrifices and give up their lives for us. When we are young, parents sacrifice their sleep and rest. They are the first ones to wake up and the last ones to go to sleep. They are focused only on one goal, to provide for us. They go through continuous hard work all day just to make sure that they have done everything for us, from giving us food and shelter, to teaching us how to prepare for the world, to teaching us how to prepare for judgment day, to teaching us how to be a good citizen and most importantly, how to be great human beings. They do all this not to get any benefit from their children, but only with the hope and belief that their children will become pious, educated, and respectful to their parents, useful to their family, society, country and a living example of success.
FACING LIFE’S TRIALS
My dad has spent over seven years battling with the physical, psychological and familial effects of cancer.
He was diagnosed as having prostate cancer seven years ago. He was told the bad news behind a curtain on a busy hospital ward in Miami. Dad did not shed a tear, and then started to get on with the business of living with cancer.
After Radiation Therapy Dad’s treatment pathway was limited to controlling the spread of the cancer over time.
Dad quickly learned to cope with his cancer;
Now he is faced with the next battle against the Cancer; that of Chemo Therapy.
Love Your Parents
Many of the aged are dependent on others for their needs and livelihood. Their need include love, affection and attention from their loved ones, besides medicines, treatment for ailments, clothes, etc. In present-day society, the aged have their problems; these problems arise from the change that has come over our society in recent years.
Thank you Dad
for always being there
for being strong
yet showing you cared.
For being my protector
and setting the rules
for the rides, the money,
and the help with school.
For all the times I was grounded
for my own good
I may not have been happy,
but I always understood
that I am lucky
to be one of the few
to have a Dad that loves me
as much as you do.
I love you, Dad.
