The One

You are the One who taught me to smile,

Made my life more beautiful than the lilies of the nile,

You are the One who taught me to walk,

Listened with joy to all my new born baby crock,

You are the One who taught me to drive,

Hit on the radio to a 1930's jive,

You are the One who taught me to fight,

Saved me from withering by curing the blight,

You are the One who taught me not to lie,

Helped me dream a life as colourful as a pumpkin pie,

And, You are the One who taught me to cry,

Tears flow down like it pours from a mackerel sky.
