WHY SHOULD WE SHOW OUR GRATITUDE TO OUR PARENTS?

WHY SHOULD WE SHOW OUR GRATITUDE TO OUR PARENTS?

We should, indeed, show our deepest gratitude to our Parents;
For, we are made up of only their inevitable and inseparable Ingredients!
Their invaluable and incredible sacrifices ever fill and heal our needy dents,
They are, undoubtedly, from our cradles to the tombs, worthier than the Saints!

We should, indeed,  be most profoundly grateful to our Parents;
For, they are the very fabrics, pegs, nails and ropes of our lives' tents!
We would be, like undisciplined and indecent beasts, without their bitter sweet complaints;
Only their timely reproaches, and stern approaches fetch us in future the costliest compliments!

We should, indeed, extend our humblest gratefulness to our dearest Parents;
For, they are, to us, sweeter than sugar, and greater than all the planets!
They are grander to us than all the grandeurs, and more splendid than all the splendours,
And, without the slightest doubt, they are, to us, more wondrous than all other Nature's Wonders!

If we fail to feel so about our unforgettable Parents, there's little difference between us and the animals,
And, we must be prepared for the worst from our offspring, at our old age, what is common among the cannibals!
