POEM FOR PARENTS

Three small words.

I still remember
When it was September
You held my hand
You had it all planned
Now school, then lunch and hangout.
My first assessment,
You were happy, so was I
I cant deny.
From my first word all the way to how to drive.
Because of you, I and many others are here.
We are starting our career.
Through the years,
You made us smile, you made us cry.
But you always gave us your palm.
Mom,
You gave me chores
They felt like Vietnam wars.
Clean your room!
I was listening all the time.
I never did.
I drove you crazy with saying: Why?
You felt like you are gonna die.
You tought me how to cook, how to fold laundry,
How to dress.
With each year that I grow older
I am beggining to see,
How much of yourself you sacrificed.
How much you gave to me.
I want you to know I owe it to you!
You made me who I am today.
You are the best mom I could ever had.
Dad,
I am standing here looking back to how
far I can remeber.
The only thing I can say is: I am glad.
Most of the times you made me mad.
Making me do all the work.
You tought me how the car works, what different machines do
Or simply how to tell a joke.
No matter how much work we have,
I will always take my time at the end of the day
To watch that cowboy movie with you.
I will always be your kiddo,
And you will always be my dad.
Thank you, Mom
Thank you, Dad
Three small words,
Not hard to pronounce
Not hard to say
I love you
Mom and Dad
PESEM ZA STARŠE
Tri majhne besede.
Še vedno se spominjam
Ko je bil september
Držala sta me za roko
Vse sta načrtovala
Zdaj šola, nato kosilo in druženje.
Moja prva ocena,
Bila sta srečna, tako sem bila tudi jaz
Ne morem zanikati.
Od prve besede pa vse do tega, kako voziti.
Zaradi vas, smo jaz in mnogi drugi tukaj.
Začenjamo svojo kariero.
Skozi leta,
Nasmejali ste nas , spravili ste nas v jok.
Toda vedno ste nam dali dlan.
Mama
Dala si mi opravila
Občutek je bil tak kot v Vietnamski vojni.
Pospravi svojo sobo!
Ves čas sem poslušal.
Nikoli je nisem.
Spravljala sem te ob pamet z besedami : Zakaj?
Počutila si se, kot da boš umrla.
Naučila si me, kako kuhati, kako zložiti perilo,
Kako se obleči.
Z vsakim letom, ko se staram
Začenjam videti,
Koliko sebe si žrtvovala.
Koliko si mi dala.
Želim, da veš, da to dolgujem tebi!
Vzgojila si me v osebo katera sem danes.
Ti si najboljša mama, kar bi jih lahko imela.
Oče
Stojim tukaj in se oziram nazaj na to, kako
daleč se spomnim.
Edino, kar lahko rečem, je: vesela sem.
Večino časa si me razjezil.
Prisilim me, da opravim vse delo.
Naučil si me, kako avto deluje, kaj počnejo različni stroji
Ali pa preprosto, kako povedati šalo.
Ne glede na to, koliko dela imava,
Ob koncu dneva si bom vedno vzela čas
Da pogledava tisti kavbojski film.
Vedno bom tvoj otrok,
In vedno boš moj oče.
Hvala, mama.
Hvala, oče.
Tri majhne besede,
Ni težko izgovoriti
Ni težko reči
Ljubim te
Mama in oče
