Thank you for the love you gave.
You spent it all but none you saved.

You'll never know how much I needed you.
You saved my life and gave me your virtue.

Every day you labored and toiled
to right the wrongs of a life spoiled.

I couldn't know what you had done.
I was in pain and had nowhere to run.

I remember when I was three,
And I sat on Santa's knee.

You told me not to ask but I did.
It was something supposed to be hid.

I asked to have my mother back.
She left me and that's the fact.

I couldn't get past the hurt and the pain.
All my efforts were in vain.

But you held me tight just the same.
Kept me dry throughout all the rain.

Dear foster mother I hope I'm not late.
I'll never know of your fate.

But I need to say I know what you did.
A hero for me, and my love I do bid.
