Mom and Dad

You've been there through it all
Wiping the tears from my eyes
Telling me it will be okay
Laying by my side until I stop crying
Waiting for me to fall asleep
Holding my hand to scare away the nerves
Sitting in the stands
Cheering me on
Smiling at me when all I can do is frown
Saying I love you every chance you get
Kissing my forehead
Checking up on me when your worried
Running this race called life
Right by my side
Encouraging me
Listening to me
Reassuring me, you'll always be there
You'll always love me
I'm so proud to call you Mom and Dad.
