Because Of You Poem by maria laura balbuena

Alphabet was learned from you
Action songs were sung 1 or 2
Basic things we've learned when we were 5
Second parent we always thought yet you're like a friend when you jive

On our second step of the stairs
Got different parents every year
Yet have one aim for us all
To be full armored coz we're not certain what future holds.

Imparting yourself and time with us
Showing our great potentials within us
Knowledge and talents you cultivate in us slowly
To be equipped for the future and be ready

Now that we have this degree
On our own, we'll walk this exciting way
To our second parents, we want to say thank you
Coz we're ready to face this journey because of you
