Honor thy Mother and thy Father
They taught you everything
And try giving you everything
Honor them.

MAKE IT HAPPEN!

They’ve given you so much,
Warmth,
Support,
Love,
And care.
What have you given in return?
Perhaps a bit of ungratefulness…
Unthankfulness?

RETURN THE FAVOR

They sacrifice themselves—day in and day out—
Working late hours
And it’s all for you
Make them proud
Honor thy Mother and thy Father.

The inspiration for the poem came from the question: What is the Theme of my life?
