Letter to Parents; from a child charged by adulthood

Dear mom and dad,
Thank you for the interesting childhood I had.
Thank you for always putting me in your best interest too,
Because for what it was worth I thought it was best to impress you.
Your interest in me was all I could see, 
And even now after graduating into adulthood,
There are still big fragments of your interest stretched before me.
I appreciate it all from the top; don't get me wrong, 
But this is where you protecting me from falling will have to stop.
With all respect owing,
I still sometimes depend on your approval without knowing.
And when I stand to receive your correction,
I realize you are not there but present is your ever pleasant sense of direction.

Your statutes were engraved in me.
Your morals are upon my skin, 
So I'll never get lost with this road map I am in.
Don't worry about me mom; you nurtured me well,
And dad, my ambitions in life can tell.
So be proud of yourselves.
You did your best to grow this seed,
To never be in real need of anything. 
Look at how well I am blossoming.
I know you think I might still need molding, 
But the ground work you did on me the last time is still holding me up.
And I am thankful; I hope this is heartfelt,
Because this is my time now to continue this amazing journey that you had started.
