They're shoulders to sit on when you're little so that you can see the world;
Shoulders to stand on when you're older just so you can touch the sky;
Lean against them whenever you fall;
Cry on them when it seems your world is crumbling around you;
They're Hands;
Hands to guide your steps lest you fall while you're still learning to walk;
Hands to discipline you when you're going in the wrong directions;
Hands to hold you when you've had the worst day;
Hands to give you away on your best day;
They're Legs
Legs that take you everywhere when you didn't know how to use yours yet;
Legs that accompany yours on the first day of the rest of your life;
Legs that aid you when you're too weak to walk the talk;
Legs that'll go to the ends of the earth to ensure you get the world.
