To my Wonderful Parents....

You taught me love
And not to shove
You taught me life
And to stick together during times of strife

You taught me to make a meal
And not steal
You taught me to dine
Without fine wine

You taught me to help those in need
And to do a good dead
You taught me to read  and write
And to fight adversity with might

You taught me to forgive
And to whole heartedly give
You told me to forget
No matter what you get

You taught me to be creative
And appreciative
You taught me to thank the creator
And to strive to achieve heights greater


You taught me to reason
No matter the season
You taught me to be humble
Without much of a mumble

You taught me to smile
And go the extra mile
You taught me to be happy
Even when things were crappy


You taught me everything
Without expecting anything
You taught me to be me
Without you I could never be
