Russell G. Robison

BIRTHDAY

I sit here by their graveside,
Oh how I miss them so
They were my confidants
And taught me much of what I know

Dad you spent so many years
Upon a distant sea
Fighting for the rest of us
So we were safe and free

Mom you’re still here by his side
Where you have always stood
Somehow through it all
You both did everything you could

I’m told this is my birthday
So I came to tell you true
I’m still headed down that highway
And it’s all because of you
