Parental Units

BY ABBAS FEROZ

My parents are everything the reason i exist
The reason that sometimes im not jumping off these cliffs
The sacrifices they have made for their young to learn and play
You left your worlds behind packed up and took a plane

Gave us a childhood, something i cannot repay
Teaching us to fly while shackling yourselves to chains
Your hearts the size of caves run and hide inside for days
Apples of your eyes but sometimes we misbehaved
The love was never changed even though i brought them shame
I'm sorry for the pain and tears, the dirt thrown on the name

You cant even imagine how much i look up to you
Everyday im grateful i was born to those two
So this is for you and everything you do
Cliched words are all i have and an inspiration to live true
