Mom and Dad
Riding my first bike and learning to tie my shoes,
These memories mean nothing without the two of you.
I've learned a lot over the years,
Not that the lessons didn't sometimes come with tears.
Sweet dreams, I love you and good night,
I remember saying this as you turned out the light.
Four kids and you two were always there,
To teach us and guide us with love and care.
We are your children and you have raised us right,
Taught us everything we know and all about life.
You taught us to work for what we need,
Even though your advice we didn't always heed.
I've seen the love and commitment that you two share,
It makes me proud and understand that what you have is rare.
You've stuck by each other even when times were rough,
But you've always showed me that love is enough.
Love is what gets you through the not so good days,
You've always been together and by each other's side you've stayed.
I am blessed and thankful for all that you are and all you are yet to be,
Cause without you two there wouldn't be me.
You have never failed to love me over the years and in the past,
I that God that I have you two as my mom and dad.
