Thank You Forevermore
THANK YOU FOREVERMORE
Everywhere you step
That is where I am
With my oxygen hose
Under your feet again
When you are walking into a room
My oxygen hose catches your eye
You see it dragging on the ground
As you gently step over it to get by
It seems to be continual
To always be in your way
Everything you do for me
You do it every single day
You cook, you clean, you wash
You sweep, mop and much more
Making sure it is all disinfected
For anything coming in the door
On top of it all you are my friend
Always showing me that you care
Like the times you take me places
While pushing me in a wheelchair
You sprinkle spices on all my food
Making everything taste just right
You even make sure I’m breathing
As I am sleeping through the night
I remember dancing back in the day
To the song of Precious and Few
We went separate ways after that
So thankful to be routed back to you
We had dance classes not long ago
You remind me at times with a twirl
While you wear your special smile
You do make me feel like a little girl
I appreciate our times shared now
While watching a TV documentary
Or YouTube songs, a Family Feud
Or even all those reruns of Al Bundy
One of my really favorite things
Is when you take me for a ride
You set everything up for me to sit
And share our friendship side by side
I apologize for all those things I did
Or what I said to push you away
From having a drink or living with me
Even how together we used to pray
I don’t know if you’ll ever read this
I’m bound to be on your last nerve
By crying or saying the wrong thing
Surely something you don’t deserve
You’ll always be my best friend
Because I feel so close to you
Hopefully you’ll never forget me
When our life together is through
Also the sprinkles of hugs and kisses
Will remain a memory in my dreams
I want to THANK YOU FOREVERMORE
For all you’ve done beyond extreme
