Destiny's Children

There lived a young and beautiful couple, not very long ago
in a humble abode they stayed
with two little daughters on whom they used to dote.

They pampered, they indulged yet never too much
Showered them with love, happiness and laughter.
Brought up the kids in a fine environment
truly blessed were they but to the girls it never really did occur.

Perseverance, dedication and sincerity they tried instilling with example
Meaning of unrequited love, which they displayed to them in ample.

They taught them to keep their balance aloft, in times of difficult moments.
And also keep their heads on shoulders, stay grounded and not foment

In spite of life's many troughs and peaks, they made their life seem easy
Never did they realize when tough times came, for the daughters it was always breezy.

Beaches and parks in free evenings, holidays in vacations
Life was full of experiences rich, never a day of dull moment.
Yet keeping the girls on their toes were some dos  and don't s
which never should be forgotten.

If childhood was full of gay abandon, running, playing or climbing an odd tree
As the daughters became a little older, they taught them independence, being purposeful
and ability to foresee.

Sound advice, a helping hand, a shoulder to lean on always
Silently shaping their future, supporting, empowering them in many ways.

And now as they look back, the children realize,
how truly blessed are they and indebted to them forever.
A humble ode dedicated to their parent's selfless life,
are these scant words of praise, we hope do justice even for a moment mere.
