Because of you
You nurtured me from day one
You loved me before that
Wiped away tears when I was sad
Bandaged cuts when I was hurt
Shown me how to be me
How to love what I have
Encouraged my uprisings
Supported my downfalls
Because of you
I value family
Because of you
I value love
my hero
my friend
my father
