Thank You Mom

At times, I know the words to say thanks for what you have done for me But they end up flying away like a bird that is set free How do I thank you enough, the one who makes me complete The one who taught me wrong from right, the one who tucked me at night. The one who could see into the eyes of fear, the one who always had a tissue for my tears The one that made many sacrifices always putting me first Who could paint the world a picture, even when things took a turn for the worst. What way can I thank you for your sweat blood and tears? For putting up with me for oh so many years… For changing as I changed, understanding my faults Love me not because you had to, but because Thank you for never giving up on me, When your patience came to reach its end Thank you for the many years of being my best friend. And I come to understand, the only way to say thank you is just this single way: Look at me before you, see what I have become and see what I’have grown up to become See all your great efforts and the great job you have done All your ambitions and dreams all your wisdom that no one sees A conversion of your best years passed down to me Thank you for all my days for all days both gray and blue But most importantly thank you for making all dreams come true
