Dear Mum & Dad...

You sacrifice a lot these past 15 years
You are there defeating the evil that defaces me
You are my courage, my desire, my hope and faith
Now it's time for me too step up
And repay... What you sacrificed for me
I will be there when you fall and to make sure
You get back up on your feet STRONGER then ever
I will look after you from here on..
Like how you did for me
I will be there to help and guide you through life's crazy ups and downs
And one day I will be a good parent like you
My children will look up to me like the way I do to you
I will always and forever love you
And thank you for just being you.
