Mom and Dad

A proud Navy man with a heart so true

He loved his friends and his family through and through

He found his match in the Japanese sun

When Bob and Kazuko Wall became one

You built our home on a solid ground

With the kindest love that could be found

Oh, Mom and Dad, I love and miss you so

More than this earthly heart could ever know

Thanks for the lessons and the seeds you've sown

But most of all, for the grace you've shown

When I stumbled in the dark, you helped me see

Thank you for never giving up on me

I can still hear that Slim Whitman song

Playing on the radio while we sang along

Telling old stories of the days gone by

Watching the laughter crinkle in your eye

Mom, you'd sing us to sleep with a gentle tune

Those Japanese lullabies beneath the moon

Oh, Mom and Dad, I love and miss you so

More than this earthly heart could ever know

Thanks for the lessons and the seeds you've sown

But most of all, for the grace you've shown

When I stumbled in the dark, you helped me see

Thank you for never giving up on me

You kept your faith so close to your heart

And I know that we're only temporarily apart

I can't wait for the day when the heavens open wide

With Charlie and Bessie standing by your side

I'll finally meet my grandpa and my grandma too

When I come back home to heaven and you

Oh, Mom and Dad, I love and miss you so

More than this earthly heart could ever know

Thanks for the lessons and the seeds you've sown

But most of all, for the grace you've shown

Through every single chapter, you helped me see

Thank you for never giving up on me

Yeah, Bob and Kazuko, you never gave up on me
