For All I Am

They raised me with love

And, never left my side

Although I left them

I'm still their child.

They taught me life

Love and compassion

They taught me how to

Find and live my passion.

Every day that I live

I'm an example of their pride

There are days that I have failed

But, more important I've tried.

Mom and Dad have gone home

To our Lord's promise land

Although their not here for me to see

They will always be here holding me.

Mom and Dad, thank you

For all I am.
