So much to say
About this journey
From that day to today
You've never left me

All these years
So many laughs and tears
The love, care and affection
Made me the person I am today

You taught me the right way
Led me through the complications
Stood by me every step of the way
Until this day, here today

So today, I honour you
For all that you've been through
Only to bring me to this day
So I bow to both of you
And say "Thank you!"

Mother, father
We'll love you forever
Until our last breath,
In death, and even after

A heart alive
Undying, constantly thriving
It started feeling
You being the drive

Hope came along
It started dreaming, cherishing

It kept on wishing
Ignorant and wrong

Realisation dawned
Love dethroned and hope condoned

Such was the pain
Everything looked mundane

A heart's last beat
The cause of such deceit
A true love lost
The heart crumbled to dust
