I Want to Thank You
I want to thank you
for so many things...
For being the single most special
influence in my life
and the one I look up to and admire
with all my heart;
for being as honest as your word
and never letting me down.
I want to thank you for being
my first real friend
and fairest teacher;
for being insightful, understanding,
and staying on my side.
For giving me all that
a good mother gives, and more:
your love, your time, your patience,
and your ultimate wisdom.
Thank you for being better than anyone else
at showing me how much
I mean to you.
Today, I want to offer you
all that's in my heart:
my greatest love, utmost respect,
and deepest appreciation
for everything you do.
