Poetry Monday :: Parents' Day

 If you want to read some more, and better  poetry,  Diane - who has taken over the hosting of  this challenge - and Mimi of Messymimi's Meanderings - who also supplies us with topics - are writing wonderful, funny, thought-provoking, ingenious and honestly well written verse. Go and read.

  Karen of Baking in a Tornado has joined us in this crazy pursuit, and promises us at least a poem a month - may  we hope for more!
  SpikesBestMate often publishes a nice verse in the comments.

  Jenny at Procrastinating Donkey who has been a faithful participant, is taking a break due to her husband's passing from this world. Let's continue to send warm thoughts, good energy, and lots of prayers her way.

I have something more to ask of you: If you read this and the poetry of others, would you please leave a comment. Half - if not more - the fun of these challenges is receiving the responses of others.

Parents' day ... we sure need a day for parents taken under one hat. I don't care much for Mothers' Day or Fathers' Day, but a Parents' Day, that I can applaud, as parenting is a joint effort.
I am still putting things there and back again hunting for moths, ans I do not feel well those past many days, so I try, I try, let's see what happens. Normally I'm not this explicitly in the faith department, but ... it just happened. 

Mothers and fathers, they are what they are
Because they have children, and they are the star,
Today we will praise and honour and laud
Every one of the parents and make them all proud.

We all have a mother and father you know,
And we were created by them and their love
But they have a Mother and Father above
That helps them and give them a parental shove.
