And still you grow…. You turn dark days bright and dull colours vivid Pain becomes a lesson and still you grow How clever and funny a mind so free So many twists and turns and still you grow Endless skies, the furthest throw adventures untold Another new journey and still you grow A touch of class, so inspiring and strong your warmth and love Exchanged with cruel blows and still you grow How much richer our lives how empty our future Smiles from tears, promises replace fears and still you grow A star has shone, a light so bright such grace and charm in a fragile frame A short story begun, the close so precious and still you grow Thanks for the joy, the pleasure was ours Now close your tired eyes, for love runs on and on and still you grow
