For What Its Worth

For what its worth…  
I would like to thank my parents for keeping me stable
With a roof over my head and food on the table
For making a way for me to be able
To be myself to be who I am and not just a label
For keeping me safe and secure
For making me and making sure
That I stay on a straight path
And learn from all the things I’ve endured
For what its worth …
Thank you and I appreciate what you’ve done
Stuck by my side and believed in me when I was young 
Held on and still kept that grip even when I acted dumb
I just thank god for being your son
Though there were struggles you sheltered them off
For me to live right you paid the cost
Without my parents ill probably be lost
So I thank them for life and how they took charge
For what its worth…
Whatever I need it was provided
Though times aren’t hard now 
 They weren’t always delighted 
And when they were around I had you to fight it
There’s no limit to your abundance of love 
And for that love is all that I can give to you
Love to you my parents for being there all my life
The reason I live and why I’m alive
And once again I LOVE YOU



Dedication to Kerry and Ben Foy my parents without you I  couldn’t be who I am and everything that I do you are an inspiration so I Love and thank you very much for being there for me when I needed you the most so once again THANK YOU
