What can I say that will show my gratitude?
To my loving parents who have shaped this mood.
For all the love and care you given,
To say thanks for my breath and the life I’m living.
*****
For my father who works so hard,
Who gave his all and a life not scared.
The one thing that brings me hope,
Is your love for my mom that helps me cope.
*****
And to my mother who keeps our home together,
Working endlessly to make my life better.
All your labor isn’t in vain,
It’s your precious love that heals all pain.
*****
In God’s grace and wisdom and ever seeing eye,
He knew He couldn’t be there every time I’d cry
So He placed two angels sent from above,
To guide my life and show me His love.
