Thank You

How can I say thank you for all the things you do
When they're all so never-ending from a heart so very true?

No gratuity could measure the amount I count on you,
I'm sorry and I'm grateful; for now, It's all that I can do.

I know that I am blessed because you mean so very much.
I thank God for your presence and every part of me you touch.

It's through you that I am learning the art of give and take,
And I'm educated often for all of goodness' sake.

The integrity in your heart and your thought-provoking ways
Keep me motivated through most of my darkest days.

And when I peek outside my box, I see you being there…
You hold my hand and cradle my heart, and it means more than you're aware.

Through the worry and frustration, you soldier your way through…
The ways of love and how it works, I have learned from you.

Such a beautiful, heartfelt dedication, Kimberly! Isn't it wonderful to "peek outside (your) box" and find your family ther e to help you through the tough times? You may feel you have "Learned Love" from them, but it seems that they have also learned to love from you. I'm sure they are thankful as well. Wonderful writing, Kimberly. Love, Carolyn
