Album: Love Them While We Can
We must love, love them while we can
We must love, love them while we can
They tied our shoes, took us to school
Patched our worn-out jeans
They soothed our tears and childish fears
And listened to our dreams
Somewhere along their golden years
Their hair has lost its sheen
The notes of hymn 110
Crackle when they sing
Now they are alone
No children's voices
Filling up their homes
We must love, love them while we can
We must love, love them while we can
The folks that taught us our first words
Still have much to say
The silver secrets of this world
Lie beneath those crowns of grey
As they approach the end
They change our role
From children to best friends
Love, love them while we can
We must love, love them while we can
We always thought they'd be around
'Til the end of time
'Til one day we wake and find
We must love, love them while we can
We must love, love them while we can
We must love, love them while we can
We must love, love them while we can

So true! I miss my mom who went home to heaven 3 years ago. I'm glad I was able to love her while I could. - Oct 2023
