The Greatest Gifts Parents Could Give
When I was little
I had nothing but the love of my parents
I listened o my favorite tunes
And worried about spending a fortune to go to college
My dad tapped my shoulders and said
Don't worry , Just study, We have a fortune
Which has a calming effect
My life was almost perfect
I went thru college worry free
There was no fees, but aids and scholarship
There was hardship
But that was understandable
I was able to cope with anything
Studying is a little thing among many things in life
I had the security of my parents, their spiritual supports at all times
We had a fortune indeed in this world of turmoils
We left Vietnam, our homeland
We toiled with our own hands the land in the new land
We'll reap what we sowed
The love on me my parents bestow
Will blossom on my children and so on
fortune means beyond
money,gold and silver indeed
under my feet the ground was firm
Now I understand we was fornunate indeed
to have a stable life in a loving family
Thank you, Dad! Thank you, Mom!
you could do a lot more than you said
Thank you for the loving environment
the cheering encouragement
I promise to carry forward
Your heritage
To the next generations
Without rations
love with all my heart to create a secure environment for my children
from the start till the end of my life
