We met:
I asked
We worked:
You gave.
I cried:
You came

But when all was said and done
Our time was cut short.

When I was taught all that you could offer.
Of kindness
Of strength
Of patience

As in life:
In the first years all you do is enjoy
After that it is time to give back.

But on that day
When I got the message
I would be doing so alone
I wished I could see your face
When all that you taught me
Payed off.
