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
