What do I say about the mare who saved me?
Do I say she is selfless, loyal, and kind?
Do I say she is strong, unflagging, and tough?

Do I reach down to pull up the boulder
that all of Ponyville rests on?
Do I present her as a dear friend
when she’s so much more than words can describe?

Is there another who does so much for every pony and never asks for more?
Is there another who treats me with such respect?
Is there another who keeps her friends together in times of trial?
What do I say about the sun that shines on all of us?

Thank you. You, who always treated me with kindness, 
You, who saved my life,
You, who shows us that family
is any pony who treats you like family.
