Thank You

How can I say thank you for all the things you do
When they’re all so never-ending from hearts 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 hearts 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




Thank you to my Daughter, Frank & Kayli

Thanks very much Kimberly, for your comments on my poetry, This is also a great heart felt poem, the place from which great poems originate. I relate to it from my heavenly relationship with my own granddaghter, whom I have a poem about on page. Lack of comments on poems do not mean that poems are not good, just means that some folks are not seeing from their hearts, the blessings thy are missing. Smile, Sincere, Love, Moses
