The lamp of knowledge is lit by you,
I can see the brightness amongst the deepest hues.
Enlightening, illuminating, encouraging all the way,
I may have been sullen and discouraged,
But you held strong and never did sway,
I thank you from the bottom of my heart,
As you have led me forward on an enchanting path.
