You gave us a trust
A son to cherish and to train
Those years are past
And gone so fast
Now we rejoice
To see his choice
To know our work was not in vain
It’s hard letting go
Yet in my heart I know
The safest place that he can be
Is in your loving hands for now
And all eternity
In all the years to come
I know my heart will be at rest
I give to you what you deserve
I give to you my very best
You gave us a girl
A gift to nurture and to love
Through all the years
Through joy and tears
Our precious one
Has now become
The woman we are so proud of
It’s hard letting go
Yet in my heart I know
The safest place that she can be
Is in your loving hands for now
And all eternity
In all the years to come
I know my heart will be at rest
I give to you what you deserve
I give to you my very best
