Blurb
A father's love is as steady as a mountain,
A mother's love flows like water,
Through the winding years,
There are no regrets for a lifetime.
When our hair has turned white,
We finally find the courage to look back.
Every stroke and line is part of a life,
Every little step is a climb.
No one gets there effortlessly,
And no one reaches the summit in a single bound.
