To my sweet parents



_*To my sweet parents.*_

Like a lush garden blooming in the showers of spring, flowers awash with hues of lavender and crimson of roses. Nature's cry, a sweet symphony sweeping through the weeping willows that cradled graceful secrets. such is the beauty of your love for your children.

Like a Titan ship gliding through tumultuous waves, unfurled sails veering through powerful tides.  A fortress of wood, amidst the fray, Shielding its passengers, come what may. Through the eye of the storm it'll protect its own. From the savages of the tempest, It shields so bold, Such is the protection you offer your children.

Like a guardian owl through Nature's maze, charting a way through thorns and vines, Eyes a golden fire lighten up a path, it's hooting calls a guardiance in the dark. Rich in wisdom and bridged in knowledge, the flap of it's feathers guiding it's young, such is the guidance you show your children.

The sacrifices you make etch deep into my heart, guiding me through uncharted paths. The words you speak, I hold close to heart. The prayers said on I and my brother's behalf. The blessings you give, the sweat and tears shed. I shall remember all these till my last breath.

To my sweet parents, this ode I write. On this day of love, I profes mine to you.

Happy Val,
From your Dearest, Fortune.
