Special Thanks To My Mother

Thank you
for not judging me when I failed
and having the patience to deal with me

Thank you
for making me smile
when all I felt like was crying

Thank you
for having the courage to believe in me
when no one else had the courage to

Thank you
for all the fun and happy memories we shared
I treasure them and will never forget

Thank you
for teaching me to appreciate the little things
like giving someone a hug and holding a hand

Thank you
for teaching me to say I'm sorry
and helping me admit when I'm wrong

Thank you
for teaching me to stand up for myself,
for what I believe in even when its hard to.

Thank you
for showing me how to forgive
and how much it hurts to hold a grudge

Thank you
for helping me believe in things unseen
Now I know the sky is not the limit
and my dreams are within my reach

Thank you
for showing me what best friends are for
to love, to hug, to reassure

Thank you
for giving me your love
in spite of everything I put you through

Thank you
for setting a good example for me
Following in your footsteps, I've learned so much

I love you Mom and I could never thank you enough
