Thank You For
*
Thank you
For simply being you
I appreciate each and everything you do
A simple thank you just would not do…
**
Thank you for
Bringing happiness to my day
Always knowing what to say
And helping me find my way…
***
Thank you for
That attentive ear when you can’t be near
Constantly showing you care
And always being there…
****
Thank you for
Never allowing me to fall apart
Showing me the goodness in your heart
And being compassionate from the start…
*****
Thank you for
Understanding I’m sometimes a wreck
Accepting that I’m not perfect
Always treating me with respect…
******
Thank you for
Caring enough to want to know
Knowing when to push and when to let it go
Giving me the comfort to let things flow…
*******
Thank you for
Listening to my screams
Encouraging my dreams
Building my self-esteem…
********
Thank you for
Your understanding and sensitivity
Inspiring my creativity
Releasing my voice from captivity…
*********
Thank you for
Listening, never judging or asking why
Promising to never lie
Knowing I’m not such “a tough guy”
Making me so happy I wanted to cry
Giving me the most thoughtful and precious thing anyone could ever buy
One I will cherish till the day I die…
