All from you.

Dear you,

 

I learned it all from you

How not to feel blue

How to be happy;

How to tie my shoe.

 

You were there

Brushing my hair

Teaching me how to live

Teaching me how to care

 

You may not have given me life

After all, you were just his wife,

But you still cared;

You indeed gave me life.

 

You bandaged my scraped knees

You put my mind at ease

You brought me joy

And you heard my silent pleas

 

You saw me suffer

You became my buffer

You saw my hurt

And made me tougher

 

I learned it all from you

How not to feel blue

How to be happy

How to stay true.
