Be Kind To Your Parents
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Be kind
To your parents
Though they
Don't deserve it
Remember
They're grown ups
A difficult stage
Of life
They're apt
To be nervous
And overexcited
Confused
From the daily storm
And strife
Just keep in mind
Though it sounds odd
I know
Those parents
Once were
Children long ago
Incredible
So treat them
With patience
And kind understanding
In spite
Of the foolish things
They do
Some day
You may wake up
And find
You're a parent too
