Hold Them Close Before It's Too Late



Can you measure the sky, or weigh the sea? That’s your parents’ love endless and free. They give, they sacrifice, they always care, Yet one wrong voice makes you question their prayer?

They scold, they warn, but not to control, Every word they speak is to make you whole. Friends may laugh, may lead you astray, But will they stay when skies turn gray?

In joy, in sorrow, through every fight, Only your parents stand in the night. No hands will hold you like theirs do, No hearts will break like theirs for you.

Don’t let doubt tear you apart, Don’t let the world harden your heart. Love them now, before time flies, Before they are only memories in your eyes.


No love is deeper, no sacrifice greater "Parents are the only ones who love you before you take your first breath and miss you long after their last. Cherish them now before regret becomes your only memory of them."
