By giving us birth and letting us grow,
They shed their blood and sweated their brow,
At every stage of our lives
They were there by our side
In our triumphs, they rejoiced!
In our defeat, they shared our grief
Who else but our PARENTS
Can be so kind and good to us?
As we grow and take new roles
By way of marriage or going offshore,
We turn cold blooded or heartless to say,
To the same old parents- whom we had promised to repay,
We turn them out from our heart and homes
To old-age homes where they are left to roam,
In their heart they have bitter memories,
And in our hearts we are guilty.
The sacrifices we have to make,
By way of taking care of them
