Our Mom And Dad
That we, a part of all humanity,
Could walk this earth? Who gave us birth?
OUR MOM AND DAD!
Who bathed and clothed and fed us, quenched our thirst?
Who cared for us in sickness and who nursed
Us back to health? Who gave us wealth?
OUR MOM AND DAD!
Who was it helped us through those growing years?
Who stilled our fears and brushed away our tears
And cheered us on? Who said, "Well done"?
OUR MOM AND DAD!
Who saw us marry, have our families?
Who took their grandchildren upon their knees
Their love to show? Who helped them grow?
OUR MOM AND DAD!
And whom do we re-echo in life's song?
Whose symphony of love is carried on?
Whose glad refrain our souls sustain?
OUR MOM AND DAD!
