Parents as Living Books
Verse 1:
Your mom and dad are living books, With wisdom gathered through the years, In every smile and caring looks Are lessons worth far more than tears. They've learned from life what schools can't teach— Their knowledge is within your reach.
Verse 2:
From fixing bikes to cooking meals, From work skills to the way they care, Each parent holds what life reveals— A treasure chest they're glad to share. So ask them questions, big and small, Your walking university knows it all.
