Parents Are Like Diamonds

Parents are like diamonds, precious and valuable.
Nothing can compare with such jewels.
There is no greater treasure than their love.
You are strong with them, you never lose.

They are the sunrise of our lives, beautiful and bright.
They shine like a powerful light,
They care, they share with the brightest smiles,
With the joy and happiness that goes on for miles and miles.

They are like the treasure that you don’t want to lose, ever.
They are the treasure that has been with you forever.
They bring you comfort, warmth and love.
And when they are not there, things can be tough.

They are the flowers that bring colour into our lives.
It’s just that magical moment when you look into their eyes,
You realise that together, you’re bonded with love, joy and pride,
Because even when they’re not there, they will always be by your side.
