I just want to thank you so much
For being so kind to me
Ever since I was born
You have never no never
Been mean to me or ever acted cruel
Quite the opposite...
You have loved me
Ever since day one
You have been gentle and sweet
And good and kind
Loving parents
I couldn't ask for a better
Mom and Dad
Sorry if I have ever
Done anything to offend you
Because you two are very SPECIAL
And there's never been
Another sweeter Mom and Dad
All I want to do though
Is ease your daily stress
I'd rather go through
The stress both of you have
And heap it upon myself
Than for you to EVER feel it
I'd rather place all of your hard times
Upon myself and carry them
Upon my back
Trying to wade through ocean of Life
With your sorrows and ANYTHING unpleasant
All lifted to from you and placed upon me
I feel so happy that you're here
To keep me company
And that's why I have such
A phobia of loneliness when you're not here
It's because I love you dearly
And I hope you'll ALWAYS know that
I'd better bring this to an end
Or else I'll be quick to get longwinded
But I just wanted to thank
Both of you
For all you do
And all you have done
Or ever will do
Since day one

Children sweet with rosy hue,
Listen to me tell them a story or two,
I hold the youngest on my lap sweetly;
A little girl of three or four;
Whose beauty I admire dearly.

Children dear, it's time for bed,
I give them a kiss, then send them home to bed,
But to leave causes them much sorrow;
So we'll resume again tomorrow.
