What I Know of Love - For My Parents

What I know of love I learned from you From all those times you picked me up when I fell and told me everything would be ok A kiss and a hug from you and everything was You never gave up on me or each other And as I watched you weather the storms of life together I learned that Love is easy but Life takes work And it was you who taught me that the things that truly matter in life aren't really things at all - respect, compassion, kindness, honesty All that makes me who I am today But most of all I learned that a parent's love is like no other And I wanted you to know there are no other parents more loved and cherished than you
