The Gift Of Giving

Years of hard work to be the best

They far exceeded their goal

We thank them for each golden moment

We anxiously watched unfold

Every move, every touch,

their love shined through so strong

They brightened our lives, they lightened our hearts

we believed nothing could ever go wrong

To know true love is rare gift to most

it's something we can only wish to come true

To be blessed with this gift and to share it with all

is something only Katia and Sergei could do

The memories they gave us, the welcoming smiles,

the brief moments they made time stand still

They showed us a vision, they gave us great strength

with such dedication, with such strong will

Mere words can't express the sincere gratitude

we all share so deep within our hearts

But when we share a warm smile, a quick glance or gentle touch

those words are speaking their past

The gift of giving is the greatest act of kindness

thay anyone could share with great pride

For Katia and Sergei this giving was natural

if they only knew how they've touched us inside

The smiles they shared, the warm gentle touches

the long loving looks into each others eyes

Forever we'll remember, forever we'll be cherished

one of the greastes gifts we have received in our lives

As one era ends and a new one begins

the giving keeps coming so strong

We are grateful to continue to share in the magic,BR>

the new memories, the courage and the love

For whenever we see gracious Katia perform

Sergei's presence will always be there

His strength, his love and his overwhelming pride

will shine to us all everywhere.
