Thanks

I want to say thanks

Your strength has encouraged me to keep on

I want to say thanks

Your guidance has gotten me to where I am today

In life, as you always say

People will show you who they really are, and when they do, believe them

You showed me who I really am

Who I can be

Who I will be

"You define what black is"

A gem that I carry in my heart

Your inlfluence shakes the ground that you tred

And stops time when you arrive

I want to say thanks

For investing in the future, and investing in me
