Dual Parenting Alone

Why I get Mother’s Day and Father’s Day

It’s become our own milestone
It made it all worthwhile
They thought it up on their own
This was never my idea

They make both days perfect
Both Mother’s and Father’s Day
Showing me their total respect
They honour me each year

And their love they portray
I get treated with gratitude
And still to this very day
All through their little lives

On those two days of the year
Is the recognition I receive
To make up for all my tears
My reward for my hard work

Would silence my previous uproar
Then a proud parenting moment
Thinking I couldn’t do this anymore
There were many days I would cry

Against each other, in any regard
Of pitting Mum and Dad
They could never play that card
And I’ll never be replaced
