Parents are GolD
by Ferris E. Jones
Lush the memories of nights tucked in
With days free and without sin.
Candid tears sit as your parents leave
With uncertainty you grieve.
They always came home with a small kiss
And once again, you exist.
Remember those tears, the love you hold
They will pass, then they'll be gold.
With days free and without sin.
Candid tears sit as your parents leave
With uncertainty you grieve.
They always came home with a small kiss
And once again, you exist.
Remember those tears, the love you hold
They will pass, then they'll be gold.
