The love teachers

by Kristina Harris - Aries

Mother, soft and gentle, she speaks
and moves in a golden aura of love.
She never underestimates my wisdom
and never doubts that I have something to say.
She listens to my never-ending phrases
as if they were oxygen, and her ears
were taking deep breaths unending.
She taught me the meaning of love
etched in her hugs and kisses 
upon my forehead each night.
For that...I love her.

Father, tall and strong, he stands.
His face shows the knowledgs he holds
and crows feet mark the smiles everlasting.
He never underestimates my beauty
and never doubts that I hold a pretty face.
I cannot count the times he's made me smile,
or reassured me that I am okay.
He beams with pride for all his "lovely daughters"
and shows us all with hugs that will abound...
beyone this earth and the lives we lead thereafter...
his memory will be etched beyond my grave.

They taught me the meaning of love
and the necessity it holds.
And for that I am forever thankful
for my love teachers...
sent from above...
abounding with their love.

Reason for writing:

    For "mommy" and "daddy"...
