The Two I Could Never Be Without

I came into this world, not knowing much

As any child would as such

But there they stood, the duo strong

I'd rather call them Dad and Mom

Helped me take my first steps

Led me, helped me, no regrets

Wanted a boy and I was born

Loved me so much I could show no scorn

Dad, a firm but honest bloke

Mom, her soothing, loving stroke

Upon my head she left her kiss 

Treated me as she could with all her bliss

Father had a heart of gold

It will never fade, even when old

I love them strongly with all my heart

And never, never could I part

If anything ever satiated my soul so much, 

It will always be them to the touch

They helped me crawl in the morning, walk in the evening

Never insulting or demeaning

"Keep a trim, proper, sturdy look, " Father said,

"And make sure to raise your head."

I was soon a gentleman and still am today

I could never step away.

Mother hugged me, said her words, 

"Patrick, if I had to leave, you'll know it hurts."

She always cried for those she loved

Because she was an angel from up above.

If I couldn't live without something, it would be

My parents, right next to me
