You were there when I was little
To soothe my childhood fears;
There with Love and Wisdom
To enrich my growing years.
When I came to you with problems,
You helped me work them out;
You were the one who taught me
What life is all about.
You were there to show your pride
On graduation day;
There to bless the marriage
And give the Bride away.
It seems that you have always played
A most important part;
In all the happy moments
I hold within my heart
Now I have a little one
Who climbs upon your knee;
And listens to the stories
You used to tell to me.
And I'm so happy you are here
To soothe her childhood fears;
And use your love and wisdom
To bless her growing years.
