“Thank you for having me”
How very true
‘Cause you are my parents
I came here through you
The stars were aligned
One particular day
And a girl-child named Alice
Was well on the way
To this planet of suffering
Anger and strife
Nevertheless
Thank you for this life
I’ve learned many lessons
I’m still learning more
I look to tomorrow
To open new doors
A path to the future
Lies shining and clear
With your help and God’s
I will walk without fear
Thank you for having me...
