I can't sit here and fully express
What you have and always will mean to me
It's more than I could ever write or say
It would take me an eternity.
The way you loved me as a child,
though we weren't of kin
You taught me to love, and laugh,
and taught me not to sin.
You accepted me as your own
from the beginning; no questions asked
You took on the responsibilty of raising me
It must've been such a difficult task...
I grew older, and you did as well
I never could understand
how deep the love for me was that you felt.
You tried to love my brother
But he pushed you away
He said he'd never love you
He had his own father anyway.
But you never stopped loving him,
you still treated him like your son
He slowly came to accept you
and soon our family became one.
