I called my mother last night And she was not feeling well Though she didn't say it But by her voice, I can tell I felt so heartbroken I wish there is something I can do The only thing that came to mind Was to say, mom, I love you And it had me thinking As I sat there for a while How many sleepless nights she spent Taking care of me as a child Wish I could give her the world But what good would that do So I wipe a tear from my eyes And said mom I love you I know she is grieving Since my father died And thought the pains keep growing She never let it show outside She would talk about my father And stare at the sky so blue And when she gets lost for words So I said mom dad love you I know one day the call will come That she had joined my father too And as we lay her to rest I will say, mom, I love you So if you are one of the blessed To have your parents with you it would make them feel so happy, To hear you say I love you The things our parents did for us And they never let us knew So lets us all thank them By saying, mom and dad, I love you
