Parental Love

[Verse]
Old man scuffs hard boots on gravel road
Hands rough like old bark
Mom’s face etched with tired lines
Eyes warm but world’s cold

[Verse 2]
Long nights waiting on porch steps
Empty dinners plates coolin' off
She sings quiet lullabies
He counts stars like pennies

[Chorus]
Love holds strong like chains of gold
Never rusts never breaks
Across the miles and days
Love’s flame never fades

[Verse 3]
Photos in cracked frames
Memories held like secret notes
Young eyes gaze up in wonder
Old stories yet untold

[Bridge]
Fought the world just to keep us whole
Bled just to patch our souls
Sacrifice reads like forgotten books
But we lived each page

[Chorus]
Love holds strong like chains of gold
Never rusts never breaks
Across the miles and days
Love’s flame never fades
