Ernesto and Gladys

Ernesto and Gladys, guiding light,
Took me in with hearts so bright.
In their warm home, a refuge found,
Love and kindness always abound.

At youth's tender stage, I arrived,
With open arms, they strived to thrive.
Nurtured me, like a blooming tree,
Their care and wisdom set me free.

Through life's twists and turns, they stood,
Guiding, shielding, understood.
Ernesto's laughter, Gladys' grace,
In their embrace, I found my place.

With every trial, they were there,
Easing burdens, showing care.
Their strength and warmth, a steady guide,
In their home, I learned to stride.

Ernesto and Gladys, pillars true,
Shining examples, pure and through.
Forever grateful, my heart's a sea,
For the love they shared so selflessly.
