Thank you for taking me into your heart
and showing me the meaning of family
For showering me in love from the start
For cleansing my heart of all its debris

You dusted off and healed my broken wings
when you took me under yours
You renewed my soul - and now she sings
You opened my eyes to how to end the wars

You are the mother that I never had before
You showed me what that love is supposed to be
You're crowned in God's grace - Of this, I'm sure
Thank you for how you teach love to me

You hold peace I never knew
Founded in faith that glows in your eyes
It shows in every word you say and all you do
You are a treasure, a true prize.
