MOM AND DAD

All the rich and joy filled moments we shared together and the times of solitude we also needed to digest the fullness of human happiness. The times when our lack of understanding caused us hurt only to be resolved by the security of our love. Not a day passed in my childhood and youth when you didn't find some way to give even when you were tired or carried a troubled heart. From you I learned charity and compassion and tolerance. From you I learned to like myself. I feel you image as a part of me, you lessons mirrored by my deeds. Mom & Dad, if I suffer or am lonely or feel hurts, it is not because of you, but only that you opened me to so much love I have not yet founda world to give it all to.
