Thank you dear Ma and Pa

(Poem for Children)

My second home was my school

Pleasing and cool

Went everyday for 10 years

Which made me a sage from a fool

Thank you dear ma and pa

Carrying the heap of books

Ragged was the back

Never felt tired

It was the hiker's pack

Thank you dear ma and pa

Papa sang the songs

Mama told the tales

Days were so quizzical

Be it at home or in the dales

Thank you dear ma and pa

Songs taught me rhythm

To laugh and enjoy

Tales made me bold enough

To keep up the joy

Thank you dear ma and pa

They never scolded me

No matter what silly things I did

Catered for my all emotions

Ever ready hands to feed

Thank you dear ma and pa

Thank you dear ma and pa

Giving me this life

Live it with the fullest

Never harboring a strife

Thank you dear ma and pa
