Mother

Missing your care,
Often finding you unable
To take care of yourself.
Helpless in taking care of me.
Endless nights I waited for your
Return which never came.

Father

Frosty car windows,
Always streaked with the prints of
Tiny fingers scrawling upon the
Hardened dew in hapless design.
Each thought of you
Reminds me of what it meant to be your child.
