Rated: E | Survey Form | Parenting | #1180334
Ala "Romantic Showdown," which songs of love for Parents/Children do you enjoy most?
I was inspired for this survey by the surveys, collectively called "Romantic Showdown," created by Lexi. I found myself, this morning, recalling songs about parenting that I've always thought were so special and touching that they could rival romantic songs in their emotional depth.

One of the following songs has always coaxed a tear from my eye and choked me up whenever I tried to sing it, and some others have come close.
(I won't tell you which one made me cry until after you've voted, because I don't want to influence your choices!)

Are there any songs that have reminded you so much of your fondness for your own children that they made you cry?


I have only included a few lists below, for starters, because I can only think of a few off the top of my head, so I'd like you to help me out if you know of any other songs that I could add.

As always, I appreciate your comments and your participation--in other words,
THANK YOU!*Heart*
