Mum & Dad you’re special
In every single way
You’re there just when I need you
Be it night or day
It’s never too much trouble
For you to lend a helping hand
You never say, “I told you so”
When things don’t go as planned
I remember when I was little
You taught me right from wrong
With your special words of wisdom
And your guidance always strong
When in my darkest hours
As I faced the world alone
I knew that you were there for me
So I never felt alone
You’ve been much more than parents
You are my best friends too
I don’t know where I’d be today
If I didn’t have both of you
It’s seldom that I tell you
So this moment seems just right
To tell you that I love you both
And will do all my life
