Thank you... <br />For standing by me through thick <br />and thin <br />For not giving up on me when I <br />didn't win <br />For your patience when I kept <br />pushing you away <br />For caring when I said I didn't need <br />you anyway <br />I am grateful knowing... <br />I can count on your strength <br />Ask for your support, and know <br />you'll go to any length <br />When I lose my way <br />you help me get back on track <br />When in pain <br />your confort soothes and brings me back <br />I am lucky because... <br />When I was sad you gave me faith <br />and hope <br />When I was confused you taught me <br />how to cope <br />When I felt I couldn't go on <br />you carried me long miles <br />When I didn't believe <br />you restored my smiles <br />Mom, thank you <br />for your guidance and your faith <br />you've shown <br />For giving me a safe place where I <br />have grown <br />For showing me how to strive <br />Because of your love <br />I will survive<br /><br />octavia wilson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mom-you-re-my-heart-and-soul/
