Parents

When my days are gloomy,

The sun behind a cloud,

You lighten up the darkness,

Like the moon that's round.

You and me when I need it most,

You're always there to help me,

And when some days are full of pain,

You'd hold my hand and guide me.

You may have friends,

But they don't last,

Unlike your mum and dad,

Who have loved you from the start.

So take it from me,

Once and for all,

My sunshine is my

Mum and dad after all.
