As a child I learned
The weight of the tide
When the skies turned dark
And I turned away,
as waves crashed on my mind
I couldn’t change the truth
So I held my head high
Though I trembled with sorrow
As I said goodbye
You taught me so many things
Most important to always be true
The truth is I think of you often
And, in my heart, I will always love you
You held me when I was a baby
As a child you guided me, hand in hand
You taught me to love with all my heart
And to be the best person I can
I promise I will always be true
To the wisdom that you gave to me
Though at the time I didn’t always understand
But as time goes by, I can tell you , now I see
