Lets you know exactly

What each of them really

Means to you

It gives you time to reflect

On past conversations

And memories that were made

You look deep into your heart

And you finally realize

Exactly what each of them

Has done to help you along the way

Some have helped you become strong

While others brought out the best

Some showed you how to cry

And someone else how to smile

They all left their mark in your life

And helped you build your road

They were there along the way

To guide and inspire you

And as you look back

You realize that they each

Played a major part in your life

So during these times away

From the people that you hold dear

Thank God they have been there

Cause you never know

When they'll be gone forever

Or how your life would be

If it wasn't for these people

Who helped build the road of your life
