Family is a word that has so much meaning
It speaks of love, sacrifice, and dreams
It’s a passionate heart that guides and protects us
There is no greater love, on this earth, to be seen
It’s a mother’s arms, embracing and comforting
It’s a fathers arms, strong yet kind
It’s unconditional love; sometimes undeserving
There is no greater love, on this earth, you will find
My mother has…the heart of an angel
My father’s love…will protect and defend
United they are a fortress around me
There is no greater love, on this earth, God could send
I am never alone; my family is with me
I feel their love, no matter how far away
They share my life, my heartaches, and my laughter
I think of their love as I kneel down to pray
I know I am blessed with parents that love me
They care for my mind, my body, my soul
They are always there with truth and with wisdom
They are trying to guide me to Heaven’s door
The riches of Heaven they wish to bequeath me
They whisper my name to God every night
There is no greater gift than that of salvation
And parents to turn you toward God’s Holy Light
