Parent’s True Love

There lies a tale of love profound,

Every parents' sacrifices, often unsound.

Hard to understand the ways,

As children are in their younger days.

For in parent’s shout, a lesson lies,

In every beating, a love truly tries,

To guide the steps, to light life’s way,

In the hopes of children, parents find their sway.

Through the trials of suffering, stories shared,

Lies wisdom gained, for you to be prepared.,

In every embrace, in every tear,

A parent's love lies, it truer.

Yet in this dance of life's cruel jest,

Children falter, put to the test,

Expecting only to be understood,

While parents give all, as best they could.

The love bestowed, a true treasure,

A legacy of utmost care,

Not for reward or riches sought,

But for a future, dearly bought.

To grant the gifts they never knew,

A love so pure, every day it's new,

But in return, just to understand,

Seems oft too much, in life's grandstand.

But still, they hope, in silent plea,

That children learn, and someday see,

The depth of love, the sacrifices made,

In every step, in every shade.

For in the end, when they depart,

It's not for praise or pride of heart,

But for the hope, that they will find,

A gift of joy, true and kind.

So let us cherish, the love they give,

And in their footsteps, learn to live,

For in their love, our futures lie,

A gift of love, reaching high.
