Picturesque Speech

A picture's worth a thousand words But this one's worth much more Two angels that I knew and loved Two birds about to soar They changed me when I needed change And taught me how to talk They fed me when I had to eat And taught me how to walk I learned these things and even more Of life that I should know I put these pieces in their place As life began to grow It's sad to say they're not here now They live inside my mind I'm glad to say I've found a wife Who's equally as kind I now look back upon our life And how they made me glad I'm proud to say that they're the ones I call my Mom and Dad Rockman

Thanks Ilene. Sometimes it's the simplest things in life that mean the most.
