Mother

Thank you for holding me while I cried, thank you for saying it’ll all be alright. Thank you for never telling a lie. Thank you for all of your trust. Thank you for being there. Thank you for listening, thank you for reading. Thank you for making sure I know right from wrong. Thank you for teaching me how to wake up. Thank you for never giving up. Thank you for knowing who I am. Thank you for taking all of my drama. Thank you for still believing in me when I couldn’t believe in you. Thank you for forgiving me when I woke up. Thank you for taking me to Tennessee. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for being blunt. Thank you for making me strong, thank you for making me learn. Thank you for punishing me, thank you for screaming. Thank you for my life. Thank you for explaining. Thank you for showing me the truth. Thank you for my books. Thank you for my brain. Thank you for my looks. Thank you for my smarts. Thank you for my hair, thank you for my shoes. Thank you for my sisters. Thank you for everything. Thank you for being my mom. Thank you for being my best friend. These are the thank you’s I could never forget. These are the thank you’s you deserve. You are my mother and I don’t know how I can ever make up for all you do for me. So take these thank you’s and all the more to come. Thank you for loving me.
