You are the gift
Of never ending compassion
Never ending care
Never ending control
And never ending support

You are the way
To follow
To change for better
To look at and say
I want to be like you

You are the table
In which I set my problems on
For you to listen
And never judge
Or disown
For the flaws
That I present to you

You are the clock
That wakes me up and sets me straight
Tells me the things I will do today
And tells me what i can do in my future
In my future without you.
