How long ago do you think it was
When mum and dad were tweens
Do you think their life was easier
Or their world a little more mean?

Ask your mum about her dreams
Your dad about his chores
You’ll be surprised at what they say
And what life had for them in store

What if you find that your dad
was the lead singer of his band
Your mum played tennis and was well known
For that strong as Serena’s backhand!

You see your dad is not just your dad
Your mum much more than your mum
They have amazing talents
And a personality wholesome!

What’s even more a bonus
you may get those talents too
Plus the gift of your times
A concoction that’s uniquely you!

You may inherit that beautiful voice
A passed on trait from Dad
Your mother’s inner strength and grit
You may wish you had

For when the dice of genes are rolled
You’ll never know what you’ll land
But whatever it is you get as a gift
Make sure to build it grand
