I will tie you to me
with a silver thread,
made of tears
when thou shall not be well,
of smiles and laughters
when my heart knows
you are well,
of kindness and care
to make you always feel happy,
of sacrifices and struggles
to keep you from facing
sacrifices and struggles,
of starry nights
and enchanted sunsets
so we can dream together.
I will tie you to me
with a silver thread
made from my gray hair
symbol of a life

full of you.
