The Most Valuable Gift

What could be the most wonderful gift

That could make your heart lift

With joy and exhilaration,

That gives you meaning each day,

When you’re dismal and have nothing to say,

When all’s going wrong and nothing’s going right?

Is it the radiant sparkling light that appears-

From behind the gloomy clouds,

To scatter your doubts and comfort your bouts,

The silver lining of your mom’s latest recipe,

That lifts your spirits, her newly made delicacy,

Her words of motivation, “You are the best, my child!

You are the winner of the world, my kid!”

And you suddenly feel buoyant at heart.

On days, when you’re particularly annoyed-

By a scuffle that got you aggravated,

When you’re about to punch the wall

Or your friends got you into a brawl,

Instantly comes daddy, your best buddy

To pull you out of your rage,

And help you fly like a bird out of cage,

With games galore or amazing facts that dazzle,

Challenge you with a Math riddle or a crossword puzzle.

When O when do you feel left out?

Your mommy and daddy don’t always shout,

Or reprimand you when you’re in doubt

They are your angels, who guide you through all the way,

In dejection, cheer, or on a never-ending day,

They bring the flash on your face.

The bond with you they share, is what you must always value and care

For parent their children and for them their parents

Matter most, as much you may prod,

That is what my dear, is the greatest gift of God

For His replacement is your mother

And the protector thy father!
