Unwavering Love: A Tribute to Parents

In a world that's constantly changing,

Parents face struggles that are so challenging,

From sleepless nights to endless days,

Their love and sacrifice never fades away.

*

It starts with the sleepless nights,

With a crying baby, they hold so tight,

Rocking back and forth, to calm their fears,

Wishing for a moment of peace, for just a few years.

*

But as the child grows, so do the worries,

The world outside, so big and scary,

They teach and guide, with all their might,

Praying they're doing it all right.

*

The teenage years, so tumultuous and tough,

With hormones raging, they feel so rough,

The child rebels, and tests their rules,

But the parents hold strong, like the roots of a tree, unmovable.

*

And as the child blossoms into an adult,

Their pride and joy, like a flower that results,

They watch with a mix of emotions, bittersweet,

As their child spreads their wings and takes to the streets.

*

But still, the parents remain, a constant support,

Through the highs and lows, they never fall short,

Their love unconditional, never to waiver,

Always there to guide, to love and to savor.

*

For though the struggles may be great,

The rewards are greater, never too late,

To see the child they've raised, become a success,

Their love and sacrifice, all worth the stress.

*

So let's take a moment to appreciate,

The parents who guide us through life's gate,

Their love and devotion, never-ending,

Truly, they are life's greatest blessing.
