Thirty years ago you welcomed me to the light
Since my first cry shielding me day and night
On your firm shoulders I have always stood tall
Always lifted me higher never letting me fall
Always giving never once did you withhold
Your enduring love the warmth in every cold
We may not wear our hearts on our sleeves But I feel
The love in tales we have weaved
In the subtle gestures
Every hidden sign
Thank you for a life where envy's never been mine
Life's journey onward a family I now bear
Understanding ,your sacrifices
As years unfolded the pictures became clear
Each silent gesture love's echo I would hear
Always giving never once did you withhold
Your enduring love the warmth in every cold
We may not wear our hearts on our sleeves But I feel
The love in tales we have weaved
In the subtle gestures
Every hidden sign
Thank you for a life where envy's never been mine
It was your love that laid foundation
For all my daring imagination
And from the base my dreams took flight
You gave me courage to reach for the sky
It was your love that laid foundation
For all my daring imagination
And from the base my dreams took flight
You gave me courage to reach for the sky
It was your love that laid foundation
For all my daring imagination
And from the base my dreams took flight
You gave me courage to reach for the sky
We may not wear our hearts on our sleeves But I feel
The love in tales we have weaved
In the subtle gestures
Every hidden sign
Thank you for a life where envy's never been mine
Gratitude for life to which you have led
Crafting days of gold where my feet have tread
An unwavering haven where I would always flee
Amid life's labels one truth I see
Your daughter I will always be
