All You Do

Just a little poem Coming from me to you Just a little somethin somethin To say I do see all you do I know I don't always show it And it's not because I don't care The things you've done and love you've given It hurts but I've known it, I've been so unfair You've sacrificed your own happiness Always putting your needs last I can only wonder have I ever done that for you I know it's a shame I am even having to ask I feel like I've done nothing To give back my love in return I hope you haven't given up Because I know there's still things I have yet to learn I may never be able to show you Or say all you mean to me Because I'd spend the rest of my life trying For you to truly see I know I've been selfish Not always dong the things I should If needed I know you'd give your life for me I can't believe it's taken this long to realize that you would You never left my side No matter how hard I pushed you away Some how you knew deep down I was begging you to stay It seems no matter how many times you tried to prove to me That if I'd just listen and stop all the fuss That yet again I'd see You were right, just like you always were and your the one I can trust So for all the times I failed to say And all that are still to come Thank you and I love you mom I'm forever grateful, for now I truly see all you've done for me
