To forgive when you were wronged
That's what my mother did
And that's why she was strong
My father taught acceptance
Of folk from other lands
He practised what he preached
As he gently held my hand
My mother said "Don't listen
When people speak with hate
The truth gets lost, not cared about
It's such a sorry state"
My father gave me time
Helped me pause to think things through
That when upset and angry
"You stop and think, you do"
My mother showed me kindness
How to love my fellow man
Now, even on dark days like these,
I do the best I can
My parents were amazing
They taught how life should be
Don't let hatred ever win
Love's better you will see
