I am taking this time to tell you
Though you already know
How much you really mean to me
And why I love you so.



Whenever I need your love and support
I never have to ask
You are always there to help me
No matter what the task.



I am thankful for having parents
Who I honor and I love
For the love you always give to me
I give thanks to God above.



Times were hard when we were young
But we never went without
With help from all our family
And from God, I have no doubt.



Your life hasn’t always been easy
Your share of sorrow you’ve seen
But God was always beside you
And on Him you were able to lean.



God has given good health to you both
And for this you’re truly blessed
You’ve lived a long life together
Many others have had much less.



Each day I give thanks to God
For giving these years with you
I know He’s always by our side
Whatever we ask, He’ll do.



And should tomorrow never come
And we only have this day
I thank God for parents like you
He has blessed us, I can truly say.
