Parents by Angela HanskaYou have guided me throughout my life, Loved me for me, You corrected me when I was wrong Comforted me when I was hurt You gave me strength when I was scared Would give me the world at the drop Of a hat if you had the power to do so Offered advice whenever I wanted it or not (oh, those long discussions)
You allowed me to fly, but not too much or too far or too long you allowed me to test my wings all the while keeping me safe using your knowledge to guide but allowing me to make my own mistakes
deep in my heart I know you will not be here forever, and I will miss you when you are gone. But I thank you for all you have given me.
This poem is dedicated to my parents.
