Mother, benevolence is what I’m expecting

Ponders on your attention is untiring

I’m naïve to what you assume and I suppose

Misunderstanding is an excuse for my ridicule

Oh! child, I’m begging for the time to come

That you realize this life is not always calm

Learn how to do things so you’ll never get lacking

You can’t count on me forever if you’re missing

 

Father, don’t forget to be more affectionate

As this childish nature is a long way process to rate

It is your duty to be might and compassionate

Guide me through the course of development

 

Oh! child, immaturity is not an option as years gone by

Listen to our elders as they complain is in high

Juvenile days will cease, no doubt

And to err is human will never be your discharge

(Onee, this is my another attempt... I can't help myself :D)

ERR- verb

1. be mistaken or incorrect; make a mistake; go stray

2. sin; do wrong

  • ITTC (Taiga Aisaka) the feeling is mutual, I like the second stanza too. :D Thanks!

  • Mr. Bill, thanks for seeing this wonderful. We never talked this way, there were no memories of me asking my parents what they suppose to do and vice versa, my father always proud of me, even though I’m such a mess, and he’s always talking to me as if we are at the same age. However, he is indeed very tender, except those moments of corporal punishments.haha! Thanks, Mr. Bill, I really love to go back home, I really miss them.

  • Vangie, thank you! I'm happy you found it outstanding. :)

  • Very nice poem especially the second stanza ☆☆☆☆
  • Well, Ms.Risty, after reading this wonderful poetic verses, I come across this type of dialogue between you and your dear parents as it contains a lovely and intimate details of your affection and exhortation. I love the tenderness of the father's sentiments juxtaposed with the impartiality in the last line of the last stanza. I really enjoyed reading your fabulous poem Ms.Risty, I hope sooner or later you will meet them again and replenish all the time lost. Keep it up ! :)

  • Hello Sis Kal, I'm missing my parents that's why I want to write more about parental love and care. Thank you and hope to see you joining the challenge.
