My Parents Poem by The Original Tom Maxwell

My parents are so special to me,
for without their love, I would not be.

They brought my spirit, into this life,
they opened my eye's, and gave me sight.

They made me who I am today,
they taught me to walk, and how to play.

They are always there, in my times of need,
they always share, and have no greed.

They showed me love, and how to pray,
how to talk, to the words I say.

I've hurt them in times, when I was wrong,
while their love for me, still grows strong.

They have lived through so many days together,
from sunny ones, to stormy weather.

They worked so hard, to give me the best,
never stopping a day, to take a rest.

They seem to have, their separate ways,
while still together, after eighteen thousand days.

I just wanted to say thanks, in my own special way,
to celebrate, our forty fifth Thanksgiving day.


REST IN PEACE Ray & Helen Maxwell
