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.
