A tribute to Mum and Dad: A poem 

Posted bymontecyrilPosted inUncategorized

The journey-fellow may be hard-pressed to travel 

But he always feels the pain to farewell 

There may be a mammoth blocking his front yard 

But he is always onward like an intrepid diehard 

These loans of stones are the metal for his drones 

He knows that Dad and Mum are fit for mighty thrones 

His artwork is frail, yet as tough as the creator’s own bones 

Mythology, history and geography are all overlapping zones 

If you want to count the stars, it may take eternal hours 

Mum and Dad are behind you, like a crescendo has bars 

Did you know their guidance is like driverless cars? 

This land seems arid, but is not fallow. We await the showers! 

Mum and Dad want no thanks. They are fuel in the tanks 

My parents were humble, but were certainly not mere file and ranks 

O Dad! I am always glad. O Mum! I am never numb. 

I have your grace and strength. Always upward is my thumb!
