I was born, some years ago,
into a home, of love and joy
I was a gift, from God above,
to a couple, who knew His love
Uncounted prayers, protected me,
as faithful servants, sought His face
Encouraged by, your faith in me
My first steps, did I complete
Joy and pride, burst forth from you
as I, your son, spoke my first words
My birth and life, I owe to you
mama and dada, I tank dee both
As a family, we travelled life
from football games, to Yellowstone
Commitment to, our family
was clearly shown, in all you did
In a world, of divorce and pain
in a world, of abuse and sin
Parents like you, are a gift from God
Parents like you, are dearly loved
My cherished memories, I owe to you
mommy and daddy, I thank you both
As I grew, and grew and grew
you introduced, me to my Lord
In word and deed, you modeled Christ
He is the Lord, and King of kings
Born anew, a brand new life
John 3:3, shows the way
My faith in God, I owe to you
Mother and Father, I thank you both
As I close, this thank you note
a few more things, I must say
Joy and pride, burst forth from me
for having parents, such as thee
With all my love, I thank you both
with all my love, I thank you again
Merry Christmas, mom and dad
with love, from a grateful son
