Another excellent imaginitive fiction @cool08.
When you write up speech, one way is to enclose it with quotation marks, like:
Robert said, "I am home for a particular reason, I will be leaving soon."
Some writers put the speech in quote blocks. I use the quotation marks, myself, if I write something on that order, that was what was in the books I had growing up.
This post was obtained through Dreemport.

I will always make the corrections. Thanks for been there.

This was what caught my attention first @cool08 and should be set like this:
"You should know that we are getting old and so, we must see our grandchildren before we join our ancestors," Joe's parents told Joe.
Then,
Joe responded to his parents, "please exercise patience."
And then:
He told them, "God is the one who gives children but not human beings, so please, mum and dad, be patient as it will soon be alright."

This is saying that one of your subjects is directly speaking to someone.
Be advised this is only a suggestion, but it is an accurate way of working speech into your stories correctly.
