February Thirteenth

THANK you for memories so sweet,
Thank you for the food we eat.
Thank you for times we share,
Thank you for the ones who care.

Mama, Papa, gone now, true,
But forever - always with me and with you.
Beside us always, today and still
They live on now and always will.

We greet each day with joy and hope
And only ask somehow to cope.
Make us strong to bear loss and pain,
With every year, more love we gain.
