If i could sing to the world

Many a time have i wanted to sing to the world -
songs of praises, that would be heard far and wide...
Many a time have i tried to sing to the world -
songs of happy memories, that would be a joy to remember...
For the joy in my heart comes from the joy of living -
and the joy of living comes from the joy of giving...
and that joy of giving, selflessly, i'd learnt from you -
who always gives, so effortlessly, of your self, your time, your love...
i have learned from you: to be generous and caring -
not only to loved ones but also needy strangers...
i have learned: to be generous and sincere -
in giving praises to others, where they are due...
i have learned: to always place others' welfare before mine -
just as you have so naturally done, every day of your life...
i have learned all these and many, many more -
and have become a better person since knowing you...
so let me sing the song in my heart -
the song that says it all: that i am what i am because of you...
