The tears: joyful tears they were
The endless stories and rib-cracking laughter
The cake, food, and drinks on every special day
The satiety, the tired, the headache thereafter!

The simple life: when you'd call my name from afar
A listening ear: when I'd tell you the things I prefer
Loving eyes: when you smiled endlessly at my sight
Warm hands: all the work you did to fill my life with light!
