Mum and Dad

My Mum and Dad have lived their life
And since been called away-
They had their life's up's and down's
But in life so has come what may-
Most of their problems caused by others
That in life insist must have their way-
But those that gave them discontent
Did so for most till their dying day-
Both my parents did their best in life
To contend with life then that be-
And still did better than many around
With all their in life diversity-
But one thing will and is always for sure
They died with their values so intact-
And now together in heaven above
No one can ruin that and that's a fact-
It is a time of year for myself to remember
The way things really were-
What those lesser than both of them together
Had done over time to both he and her-
They have made it home with all their values
As they stuck to all they believed in then-
And until heaven it is no longer there
They will be together always as back when-
This is the only photo that I have with me
Of them as one away back long ago-
Two more fantastic souls I've never known
But that's the way life it does go-
However my time to pay them tribute
And to be full of joy that they still are-
As always side by side as always
Both sharing heavens only brightest star-
