I'm thankful to my mom and dad For the great childhood that I had. We didn't have so many toys, But there were lots of other joys. Dad was a farmer, planting seeds To provide us with our daily needs. Mom planted too, the seeds of love, Germinating from up above. She taught us to love each other, Have respect for one another. We've kept those feelings still today, Though childhood days are far away. We went to church and Sunday School Where we were taught the Golden Rule. So many times our mama cried, If we were bad, or if we lied. She didn't teach without regard, That growing up is truly hard. We loved her and wanted to be As gentle and as kind as she. My brothers never made me cry, The four of them older than I. My gentle dad taught them to be Protectors of my mom and me. A child who's raised with loving care, A happy child beyond compare. She'll want to share the love she knew And teach it to her children too. What goes around will come around And other happy children found. When a much better world is had, It all started with Mom and Dad. By Joyce 08/20/01 |
