It's you, the guiding light, a beacon in the night, Who dreamt of my success, a future shining bright.

Each victory achieved, a joy reflected in your eyes, Gratitude I offer, beneath these starlit skies. For being there, a constant, unwavering friend, A bond unbreakable, that knows no end. More than a friend, a sister, true and dear, My trust, my heart, you hold them ever near. Thank you, for your faith, your love, your steady hand, A gift of friendship, across this precious land.
