Parents Poem by Kassem Oude

If you cherish your parents
On their tombs don't lament
Do not make granite stones
Nor ceremonies where you moan

Give them respect while alive
In their hearts deep you dive
Help them when they're old
That time is dearer than gold

Remember when you was young
They fed you trained your tongue
Observed you day and night
Deprived selves till you stood right

Fairness is give and take
Truthful be do not be fake
They would pass away soon
So begins your afternoon.
