Love of a Mom & Dad
a story of first love
Love comes in many shapes and sizes
Love comes in good times and bad
But the very first love we feel in our lives
Is love from a Mother and Dad
We never wonder as tiny babes
If they will catch us each time we fall
We know they will be there each step we take
And run to our side when we call
As time passes by, Mom and Dad change a bit
Take a back seat to allow us to grow
They don’t interfere as we make our mistakes
But when we need them they just seem to know
They share our laughter when we are happy
Shed a tear each time we cry
Hold us tightly in the comfort of their arms
And pray for help from our Father on High
Then as time passes they change a bit more
Can’t live alone in the home we grew up in
Can’t care for themselves like before
Now sons and daughters become the caregivers
Have the chance to show never ending love
We sit by their side when they are lonely
And pray for guidance from our Father above
Then the day comes when we must say goodbye
They have answered the call from above
They will live in a mansion in Heaven
Surrounded by Heavenly Love
