    "As we look back over time
    We find ourselves wondering .....
    Did we remember to thank you enough
    For all you have done for us?
    For all the times you were by our sides
    To help and support us .....
    To celebrate our successes
    To understand our problems
    And accept our defeats?
    Or for teaching us by your example,
    The value of hard work, good judgement,
    Courage and integrity?
    We wonder if we ever thanked you
    For the sacrifices you made.
    To let us have the very best?
    And for the simple things
    Like laughter, smiles and times we shared?
    If we have forgotten to show our
    Gratitude enough for all the things you did,
    We're thanking you now.
    And we are hoping you knew all along,
    How much you meant to us.
