My Parent’s Love
Their love was rare and their hearts were one
She knew this love was eternal
One that would never fade
Her heart now heavy and broken apart
The man she love has gone away
Her heart aches as it falls apart
The love she knows will never die
She aches to be once again with him
She can’t remember her life without him
She sees him in her children and all around
She knows she will never be the same
Until beside him she is laid
The years to her from that day have been a terror
But now her heart is whole again
In his arms she now resides
Their love now brightens their spot in heaven
And shines on earth as the brand new star
One that is seen from near and far
