I've questioned the love my parents say they have for me
I even doubt it, at times, when things seem bleak
But deep down, I know they would move mountains for me
Their love shines through in moments that are unique

They call me their princess, their one and only
Willing to sacrifice all they have for my happiness
They'd let their worlds burn just to show me they care
But sometimes I wish they could see past my mask

The pain I hide behind a smile
The tears that stain my pillow each night
I feel unworthy, like a burden on their shoulders
But they see me as a treasure, a guiding light

I want to tell them how sorry I am
For the times I've caused them pain
I promise to strive for success an fulfillment
To ensure their sacrifices were not in vain

Even when they are old and gray
I'll be there by their side
Though all the fights and misunderstandings
Love will prevail, it will not hide

I may stumble and fall along the way
But their love will guide me, keep me strong
And even when it's hard to see
Love will always be there, where I belong

So to my parents, my pillars of strength
I promise to always be there, to always care
For the love you have shown me, I am forever grateful
In your arms, I find solace, I find my air

I may doubt at times, but deep in my heart
I know your love is unwavering, pure and true
And though we may falter, we'll always find
That love will conquer all, in all we do

So thank you, dear Ummi and Pa, for everything
For showing me love in its truest form
I will carry your light in my heart always
No matter the weather, no matter the storm

I love you, I'm sorry, I appreciate you
These words may not be enough, but they're a start
For the love you've given me, I am forever grateful
And in my heart, you'll always hold a part.
