A Life I Never Dreamt Of
A life I never dreamt of Your father gave to me, Of children and grandchildren, Of generosity, Of ventures and adventures, Of curiosity: A life I never dreamt of Is what you gave to me.
A love beyond all other Your mother gave to me, Of romance and romantics, Of amorosity, Of gather and together, Of reciprocity: A love beyond all other, Is what you gave to me.
A family here together Our parents gave to us, Of business and endeavors, Of ethics, morals just, Of ever and forever, Of clan most generous: A family here together Is what you gave to us.
