As we look back over time <br />We find ourselves wondering <br />Did we remember to thank you enough <br />For all you have done for us? <br />For all the times you were by our sides <br />To help and support us <br />To celebrate our successes <br />To understand our problems <br />And accept our defeats? <br />Or for teaching us by your example, <br />The value of hard work, good judgement, <br />Courage and integrity? <br />We wonder if we ever thanked you <br />For the sacrifices you made. <br />To let us have the very best? <br />And for the simple things <br />Like laughter, smiles and times we shared? <br />If we have forgotten to show our <br />Gratitude enough for all the things you did, <br />We're thanking you now. <br />And we are hoping you knew all along, <br />How much you meant to us.<br /><br />CLARE JONES<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/as-we-look-back/
