YOU CARRIED ME THROUGH
{Tribute to my parents, Garn V. Carter and Lenore J. Carter}
~ By Alan G. Carter, Early - Mid June 2018
(Idea for this poem from Late May 2018)
VERSE ONE: There was something very assuring about my mom and dad........They had foresight enough to know and care about my personal needs, and insight enough to feel for the way I could individually be........There was something very special to me about my mom and dad........And for their many, many good, amiable friends......Their good company was something in which they could depend......As they were the kind of people that would be reliable to count on........And they were the kind of parents that would do most anything for their children........
{ TO CHORUS }
VERSE TWO: There was something very reliably steadfast about my mom and dad........And though there were trials and tribulations, between our differing, evolving generations........We had what it took for understanding the diverse problems we all had........And with their seemingly boundless energy, they were a good inspiration for ones like my sister and me........And there's no doubt, although they ended up being missed, they left an enviable legacy........And lived long, full lives, living to the fullest, and being good parents was just one of their specialties........ {REPEAT CHORUS}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CHORUS: It was so special to me how my parents carried me through my life........And quite monumental how they assured me unlimitedly when the needs arrived........You really carried me, and with great zeal........You really carried me, and with an awesome appeal........YOU CARRIED ME THROUGH, with no second thought, and virtually without fail........YOU CARRIED ME THROUGH, and I doubt that very many had parents that would be so reliably care-giving in every detail........
And our family learned how to be true to each other........As we carried each other through the trials and tribulations of life........Yes my mom and dad were some good people for anyone to discover........You were there for my "sis" and me........And we were all there for each other, truly making things better for one another........
{I: TO VERSE TWO}
{II: FIN.}
