"O my Mother, thou that lovest
me when I need it the most.
With thy teaching and examples
I have every cause to boast
In our humble, loving family
Thou hast shown me grace and truth.
Though we´ve suffered great afflictions
I´m so grateful for my youth.
O my Father, loving protector
thou hast been there all my life
Thou hast shown me, by example,
How to live and love my wife.
Standing right be-side my mother
thou hast weathered every storm.
When the world was cold and dreary
Hugs and laughter kept me warm
Dearest Mother, Loving Father
Thou hast sacrificed so much
To raise six loving children
who have been under thy watch.
As we grew, we heard thy teachings
and took heed of thy advice:
"Love your family, don't be stupid.
Love your neighbor and be nice."
As we leave this loving house-hold
Bittersweet feelings arise
Though we´re gone, You're never forgotten
and that should come as no surprise.
In times of trial and heartache
We´ll remember all we´ve been told.
For we´re born of goodly parents
As Nephi of old."
