Thanking My Parents

I'll always give thanks to my dad For giving me all that I had, For always being a such a great father figure He indeed was my hero. He was always there when needed And his words and advice I always heeded, Whatever he asked I would always do Because, he was always true. I'll always give thanks to my mom For always reciting to me a psalm, And for always putting her child first Even when she did hurt. She taught me how to treat all others As they all were my sisters and brothers, Even if they were a different color than me We all belonged to the same family. I will always give thanks to my parents For always being transparent, They were always there at my side From their children they would never hide They never left me behind They taught me not to hate, but to be kind, And because of them both To become a good parent myself I took an oath.
