House

Mother and Father,

You are the foundation of our family

You are the structure of our lives

You are the roof above our shoulders

You are the walls that keep us dry

Without you both we’re empty

Like a condemned abandoned building

We can’t imagine our lives without you

Like a house without a chimney

So we ask of you,

Mother and Father,

Continue to live long and happy

To see us three grow quickly

And like the house you’ve given us

We will live our lives happily and fully
