“THANKS MOM AND DAD”

::»§«»§«::

Thanks for giving me life so many years ago,

Rearing a child back then wasn't easy I know.

*******

Money was so very scarce and life was tough,

But the love you gave us was quite enough.

*******

You were the plant and we were your seeds.

You nurtured us with all of our basic needs.

*******

With that strength, we went on alone and grew,

Repeating the cycle of life, bringing forth the new.

*******

Though you're not with me today, but only in thought,

Those memories we once shared could never be bought.

*******

So mom and dad, I want to thank you again today,

For giving me life on this, my seventieth Birthday.

*******
