All Because of You

No matter how far I roam I'll always have a place to call home Somewhere to go when life gets rough A foundation to stand on when things get tough Because of you I am who I am today All of my life you have shown me the way And now its time that I put to use All of the things you taught me how to do And I am here today And its all because of you You stood behind me when I was right You protected me with all of you might You corrected me when I was wrong And because of you I can be strong Because of you I am who I am today All of my life you have shown me the way And now its time that I put to use All of the things you taught me how to do And I am here today And its all because of you No matter where I go This I want you to know That if it weren't for you I wouldn't know what to do Because of you I am who I am today All of my life you have shown me the way And now its time that I put to use All of the things you taught me how to do And I am here today And its all because of you All because of you All because of you

aww this seems to me like a tribute to to a parent or parents and i think it is beautiful, it was carefully written and shows all the love and support that this person has given you over all these years and anybody would be lucky to have someone like that especially if it is your parents. Jo
