You Are Appreciated

Yesterday 5/3/2010 I surprised my mom with chocolate covered strawberries to let her know that I appreciate her. I also let her know that it wasn't Mother's Day it was Mother's Week. So for day 2 I wrote her a poem.

5/4/2010
This is the gift for today
A poem to express my appreciation in every way

I want to thank you for helping me,
Guiding me and loving me

I want to thank you for putting your life on hold,
Giving me your jacket when I was cold

I want to thank you for being there for me when I pushed you away,
Never giving up and loving me in every way

I want to thank you for putting me first,
Smiling and laughing when you felt your worst

I want to thank you for listening to me complain,
Watching me scream and yell and knowing I’m not insane

I want to thank you for being strong,
Teaching me right from wrong

I want to thank you for being you
For being there and helping me through.


I love you!
