Guided by Love

To Linda and David, my guiding stars,

From the depths of my heart, I've come so far.

Thank you for opening your world to me,

From Russia’s cold to your warm family.

If not for your love, I don't know where I'd be,

Lost in the shadows, without you to see.

You took me in, made me your own,

In your arms, I found my home.

I don’t tell you enough, how much I love you,

Every little thing you do, I see it in everything I do.

Sorry for my silence, for not saying it loud,

But your love lifts me above the clouds.

Thank you for the love, thank you for the care,

For being my shelter, always there.

Linda and David, you showed me to forgive,

To love, to protect, how to truly live.

Dad, your strength, your gentle hand,

Always there to understand.

Even on those long phone calls,

Listening, caring, answering my calls.

When I was sick, you were my healing rain,

Comforting my pain, easing my strain.

Your voice, your touch, your guiding light,

Made everything okay, made everything right.

Thank you for the love, thank you for the care,

For being my shelter, always there.

Linda and David, you showed me how to be,

Loving, forgiving, brave, free.

So here’s my song, from deep inside,

With love and gratitude I can't hide.

Forever grateful, forever true,

Linda and David, I love you.
