I know you’re just kidding when you said

‘I am not tired Honey’

As a lighthouse stood firm in midst of tossed and struck

So are you firm and strong to me

Giving light to me a helpless child

Giving me light to walk my path

Being my strength to face life’s trouble

Guided me in this world of despair

You’re my parents and my soul

Who can tactfully soothe and comfort me

When my soul needs someone to help me out

You’re there to hold my hands

Even when I hold a pouch filled with emptiness

You’re my endless wealth with unceasing source

May time shall not be wicked enough to take ye away

May you always be there to hold me up,

Cause you’re my parents and my loves.
