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. © November 2001 - Emily McAdams Written and dedicated to my parents who celebrated 60 years of marriage, 2001.
