My Stars!

You’ve been there

to dream and celebrate

those precious “firsts” with me;

You’ve been there

to hold an umbrella

when storms passed over me;

You’ve been there

to give me a good life

when the going was not so easy;

You’ve been there

to cradle and nourish me

with your warm love and peace;

You’ve been there

to share my fears and tears

when my world was falling apart;

You’ve been there

to let me go away

to build my nest and follow my heart;

You’ve been there

to see our family take root,

to reach out to the stars;

You’ve been there

always and will always be,

my two-in-a-million parents – my STARS!
