The Prize

In honor of this honorary honorarium I'm thankful for this prize And standing at this podium I can't believe my eyes It was in a waking dream, it simply must have been How else on earth could it be The stage was grand as ever had been seen All dedicated to me Thank you most of all my nearest My ever understanding dearest For always having been there And always standing up for me You saw my dream, you heard my cry You helped me make it through You stood behind me all the way I owe it all to you Tell us a tale, sing us a song Serenade us to the sky Softly touch our bleeding hearts Make us laugh until we cry Always beckoning to me Reaching deep into my soul Sowing dreams within my heart Shiny stars and streets of gold Thanks for standing by my side In the kitchen and the halls Always standing all around me Forever thank you, my four walls But have no fear, all is not lost At the Smithy's bar and grill The masses gather at the trough Until they get their fill So meet me there after the day We'll share a line or two We'll wine about each others woes Next time you're feeling blue
