"You filled my days with rainbow lights
fairytales and sweet dream nights,
A kiss to wipe away my tears,
Gingerbread to ease my fears.
You gave the gift of life to me,
And then in love, you set me free.
I thank you for your tender care,
for deep warm hugs and being there
I hope that when you think of me,
A part of you, you'll always see."
