You are the light when days feel gray,  

the steady hands that guide my way.  

Your care is gentle, strong, and truth,  

a voice of comfort shaping my growth.  

Your laughter fills our home with cheer,

a sound of love I hold so dear.  

The walls remember the joy we share,  

a place of safety built with care.  

You are the roots that help me grow,  

the shelter when the cold winds blow.  

Your strength has shaped the path I walk,

your wisdom lives in every talk.  

For all the love you freely give,  

you show me how I want to live.  

Forever grateful, near or apart,  

I keep your love inside my heart.
