A poem for the best parents in the world:

June 20

together…

a love withstood

the potholes of life

in erratic storms

and El Niňo droughts,

steadfast and holding on.

a life shared

through moments not years

watchful eyes and guiding hands

a child’s tears be gone

a home, a family with God’s love

ashen haired, toothless smiles

wrinkled skin but undying love

hearts and hands clasped tightly

whatever may be

…together
