POEMS
Never Enough
Sometimes I know the words to say
Give thanks for all you`ve done,
But then they fly up and away
As quickly as they come.
How could I possibly thank you enough
The ones who made me whole,
The ones to whom I owe my life
The forming of my Soul.
The ones who tucked me in at night
The ones who stopped me crying,
The ones who were the experts
At picking up when I was lying.
The ones who saw me off to school
And spent sad days alone,
Yet magically produced a smile
As soon as I came home.
The ones who made such sacrifices
To always put me first,
Who let me test my broken wings
In spite of how it hurts.
Who paints the world a rainbow
When it`s filled with broken dreams,
Who explains it all so clearly
When nothings what it seems.
Are there really any words for this
I find this question tough,
Anything I want to say
Just doesn`t seem enough.
What way is there to thank you
For your heart, your sweat and tears,
For ten thousand little things you`ve done
For oh - so - many years.
For changing with me as I changed
Accepting all my flaws,
Not loving 'cause you had to'
But loving 'just because.'
For never giving up on me
When your wits had reached their end,
For always being proud of me
For being my two best friends.
And so I come to realise
The only way to say,
The only thank you that`s enough
Is clear in just one way.
Look at me before you
See what I`ve become,
Do you see yourselves in me?
The job that you have done.
All your hopes and all your dreams
The strength that no one sees,
A transfer over many years
Your best was passed to me.
Thank you for the gifts you gave
For everything you do,
But thank you Mum and Dad, most of all
For making dreams come true.
