I grew up with two sisters, my Mom and my Dad
We didn’t have money, but what I needed I had
The words “I love you” would sometimes not be said for days
But in the house it was expressed in so many more ways
Everyday my Dad and my Mom awoke long before us
A homemade breakfast to eat, before we got on the bus
After school we had daily chores, before Dad would arrive
We would all gather at the table for dinner at five
We weren’t allowed to be absent, don’t even try
Here Mom asked the questions under Dad’s watchful eye
As for your conduct of the day, they somehow always knew
They would reinforce guidelines what we could and couldn’t do
The day’s challenges were faced, all expectations were met
We were taught right from wrong by the examples they set
My Parents are special they have always been there for me
If you ask people who know them, you will find they agree
I had a wonderful childhood, my life is better than fair
I am blessed by the Lord to be in a family so rare
