Think Of Your Parents

Think Of Your Parents 

Think of your parents for they will not be always with you; 

One day, they will leave you or you will leave them as death closes in. 

Think of your parents though they are uneducated and ignorant; 

For they have traded themselves with ignorance to give you education. 

Think of them though they make mistakes because they are getting old. 

Do not pour your wrath upon them but render your hands and feet; 

For they did not fail to let you down as you embark on your journey. 

Think of them when you are with your friends,

Enjoying the pleasures of your life filled with exhilaration. 

Think of them for they are working somewhere, 

Toiling hard and shedding sweats for your smile and laughter. 

Think of them in your achievements and successes in life, 

For they did not fail to mention your name before God; 

Remember them for you did not achieve on your own. 

Think of them though they look chronically untidy; 

Do not be ashamed of their ignorance or unkempt appearance. 

Think of them for they chose to barter their beauty just for you. 

Think of your parents in your profession and works, 

For it will stimulate you to be industrious in life. 

It will bring the best version of who you really are; 

And empower you to live a life of dignity and integrity. 

Do you think of your parents? If not, then think of your parents..!
