When you were growing Our hearts were so full\nof care for you That we spoke soothingly And sometimes sharply. Fearful for your safety, But always in the\ndeepest places of our hearts We spoke lovingly. Today, As we watch you Moving forward with your\nfriends We marvel at all you\nhave done And become Our spirits sing praise\nto God For the gift that is\nyou. And, though our hearts Have stretched to love\nothers, Yet, there is still a\nplace within us That is yours and only\nyours, Always. For the light you have\nshone on us, For the life you have\ncalled us to, For the special gift of\nGod You are now, and will\never be, Thank You<\/span>
