guess this is my emotional side.
I have a debt that can't be paid
No matter how I try
It came with me so long ago
I'll keep it till I die

My mother suffered in my birth
My father by her side
A bouncing baby to them was born
To become these parents' pride

Through my childhood they protected me
They suffered to show the way
Through their wisdom and by example
They made me as I am today

For all their love and kindness
For every worry and each tear
Somehow I must repay them
But too little time is left I fear

I think that I have found a way
At least a way to start
Mom and Dad "Thank you"
For giving from your heart
