Love in her heart never dies, absolutely
Exist in this land to spread idolatry
Issued from above by our eternal God
Really the most treasured of all gifts of love.
Always serves as direction and torch to my path
Mitigates my mistake and never leave me back
Measureless love and consistently understands
Enduring patience that keeps our ties as one.
D irected me to live my life creatively
In the place where no one else has ever been
Aim high for my dreams but with full contentment
Nevertheless, be strengthen from disappointments.
Now, I learn to acknowledge my achievements
Everything that I’ll do, surely will make you proud
Declaring that I will keep my feet on the ground
Engaging the things you taught me in heart and mind.

2. The best gift I would give you are all of these things,
Offering you my pace as I go through my day
Reach you out and show you how much I care
Respect and eternal love is all I can give you back
Elicitng every opportunity to say “I love you”, because
Zealous of knowing that I won’t have you anymore, one day.
