Great Songs about Parents and Children

The bond between a parent and child is something so strong and so special. Many people never thought they can love a person so deeply until they had a child. Parenting is hard, but it’s beautiful and utterly rewarding. There’s no greater joy than seeing the person you brought into this world grow. And if you’re a child, you know you’ve been a piece of work sometimes (maybe until today), but perhaps you’d like to appreciate your parents’ selfless commitment and lifelong sacrifice towards nurturing you.
