A candle to light my way in the dark
An angel to tinkle perfection
White roses wafting their scent in my path
A compass to give me direction
Wrapped in a rainbow box covered with flowers
You sent me the greatest selection
I can imagine the sunshiny bowers
You sat in to make the election
I unwrapped the box and out flew your heart
Enveloping me in a warm glow
Of love and of caring `though we are apart
My daughter I want you to know
Your actions spoke louder than any words could
Helped me to feel less alone
Thank you my darling for being so good
But please hurry up and come home
