A Father and Mother, both precious words that most experiance daily, living or dead

A Father's love, always couragous and safe

A Mother's love, gentle and warm

There are many guesses to the meaning of these precious words, but many can't understand why

Many just accept them for their role, many stay under their wings for protection

Who can really understand what they do for their young

Is it Inari-sama's order to protect them, or is it their own will?

The undying love from an older generation than our own, envelopes us, protecting us

Mother's shall always show their love for their children, no matter what you've accompilshed, as will a father

When you see a Mother and Father kiss, you can sense that their love knows no bounds, as they live and die, you can tell they will never leave each other's side

When you see a Mother and Father fight, you can sense that something is terribly wrong and it hurts you to see them stressed

But, no matter what trials you and they face, they will love you more than life, and risk their own to ensure your welfare and so you might have a chance at life

If you fall, they will pick you up

If you cry, they will comfort you

If you laugh, they will too

No one knows, not even the Mother's and Father's themselves, why they love their childeren so dearly

But, I shall always know this, a Father and Mother, forever and always remain deep within your heart, no matter what

They will always be there for you in body and in spirit, from life to death

For one reason I know this, Mother, watched my life from the very begining

Father is watching too, he aids me in my greatest time of need, as I prepare to unleash Kyuubi no Kitsune, to kill Pain once and for all

As I lay here, staring at the stars, wander if they know that I love them, as I know they love me

I gave the older version of this poem to my friends, and since they liked it, I decided to put it in FF. Please tell me what you think of it. Depending if my brain works properly, I might do another one, it more than likely won't rhyme either. Please review, no flames please!
