Dear God,
This is a poem to show you, Lord, how much I wanted to thank you for giving me the extraordinary parents that anyone would love.
“Lord, thank you for giving me something so precious
They were the people who made me self-conscious
Of my actions that might have been too obnoxious
Lord, they also helped me from not being too anxious
Of the future actions that I would surely do,
Those actions that I definitely, could not undo
Even when I was a little kid at the age of two,
They didn’t waver at my peskiness even just a few.
They were the people who showed me the way
They didn’t miss a step, they did it everyday
Every time I cried, they knew what to say
Every time I stumbled, they didn’t go away
I take my hats off for the guidance they showed me
They’re so precious to me, I don’t know how to thank thee
I know this is not enough to request for this plea,
But I want to see their faces full of glee
Please let me show them that I could get a degree”
Yes I know that a poem would never be enough to thank you but I don’t know how to give my gratitude to you, Lord, for how much you have blessed me with wonderful parents. I knew some people who, unluckily, had their parents pass away, that’s why here I am, thanking you for the opportunity you have given me to enjoy every moment I’m going to spend with them. I had had so many blessings but I don’t think that there is something better than having such lovely parents. I could go miles and distances just to prove to you, Lord, that I’m sincere in thanking you.
The people with parents that had passed away were left grieving, and in tears. Seeing myself in that situation had caused me to go haywire and not think of that again. I couldn’t imagine or I wouldn’t want to imagine, just yet, how my life would turn out without them by my side, every now and then, helping me with my problems, no matter how tough it is for them already.
Just before I was born, they were already having enough troubles with some things. They’ve got two children before me, they were having problems with my mom’s pregnancy, and other things, but they decided to push through and give birth to me. That’s enough sacrifice and that was even when I was born. They had enough hard times, and I can’t help to think that I am continuously adding to that. I definitely want to change that.
After I was born, they decided to take care of me, even handling my peskiness when I was a little toddler. They sacrificed their time just to guide me and pave the way for my future. They literally, and figuratively, did everything just for me.
They were my foundation and nothing or something is going to change that. Most of the things that I know, most of the time, morally, are all thanks to them. They taught me how to live my life for myself, and for others. They taught me how to live my life to the fullest.
They are always there for me, whenever I’m emotionally unstable. They are always there whenever I’m having problems with my studies, with other people, and with friends. They were never absent when I needed guidance. I don’t really know what to do without that guidance. They are always standing beside me and ready to catch me whenever I would fall.
Yes, we often get to arguments. Sometimes, I do the wrong things and I couldn’t help but to go into arguments with them. I think that it is unavoidable but I try my best to quickly say sorry and make up with them. I quickly try to erase the mistakes that I have done and learn a lesson from that, that I also learned from them.
There’s no other people’s presence that could change and make the same impact in my life just like theirs’. They’re always going to be the largest part of my life. They are my parents and no matter what happen, even if the dinosaurs revive, even if Hitler comes back to life, even if writers stop writing mangas, even if the animators stop animating animes, I will always love them and deep inside my heart, you could see them there.
A loving son
