For My Parents, Thank You

Thank you to my wonderful parents, with out whom I wouldn't be half the person I am today. Thank you for everything you do for me, every single day! When I was sick, you did everything to make me better Chicken soup with my medication, and a nice big comfy sweater When I was sad, you did everything to make me smile Favorite movies with some popcorn, Laying on the couch for awhile When I was curious, you would show me, we would explore Anne Frank's hideout, Big Ben and The Louvre, who could want more? You taught me about my heritage, that's really swell Civil war reenactments, plantation trips, seen the liberty bell You taught me about your heritage, I can never be dull I speak English, et Français, y Español I've learned to be compassionate and caring, just like you I still donate clothes every year, and give those in need food. I was always top of the class, you are both great teachers A principal and a professor, I didn't stand a chance with either I've grown into the person, the young woman, that I am today With your wisdom and intellect leading the way. 40 years you've been together, that is amazing, that is love We will follow your example, ending all disagreements with hugs Never giving up, alway working as a team Relationships aren't always as easy as they seem Yet you have stuck it through and always given me the best Now are marriages are equal, thank you Supreme Court of the U.S.!
