For all the things you’ve done <br />To make those words have very precious meanings <br />For the thousand and one ways you’ve shown <br />All the sweet things in life <br />We’d like to thank you Pa and Ma <br />For being special… so special indeed. <br /> <br /> <br />All through our lives you are there <br />To share with our triumphs and defeats, <br />Laughter and tears, hopes and despair, <br />For being there when we needed you most <br />When we yearn for someone to understand us <br />When we seek for a shoulder to cry on <br />For simply being there when life turns upside-down <br />Thank you so much, Ma and Pa <br />For giving us the courage and inspiration to go on. <br /> <br /> <br />As we kneel down to pray <br />We thank God for providing us <br />Parents who’d never forsake <br />When everyone else turns away <br />This is a tribute to you, Pa and Ma <br />You’re 23 years together now <br />Many happy returns of this day! <br /> <br /> <br />Note: They have just celebrated their 41st wedding anniversary but this poem was written on their 23rd anniversary.<br /><br />Lilibeth Sacmar Apat<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pa-and-ma-a-tribute/
