Parents are caring.
Parents love sharing.
Parents are nice,
But hate mice.
Parents are friendly,
But hate getting angry.
Because parents are parents.
Parents have sad sighs.
but nice hi's,
And sweet good bye's.
They sing a nice song,
When a day's long.
They try not to get mad,
Or try not to get sad.
But I don't know why...
All I know is that they are my...
Parents!
Because parents are parents.
