A Parent's Love

A Parent's Love

Time to get up, it's 3am,
Another bottle, change that diaper again
Sing sweet tunes to soothe your ear
Thank God that He brought you here
Scratches, scrapes and bruised up knees,
Asking Mommy to "kiss it please"
Hey Dad, I heard something under my bed,
Can you read it again? That book you just read?
The game will start in thirty minutes,
Dad is proud because his son is in it
Mom's still worried about scrapes and scratches,
But yells 'hoorah!' with every ball he catches
There's a special glow about a mom and a dad,
It's there as they raise their child
Being there through the good and bad;
Loving them all the while
Hey Dad can you fix my tie?
Oh come on
Mom, please don't cry.
You two have always been there,
just like your here today,
Standing right beside me,
Watching her father give her away
