my everythinx..

thank beb , mom
Thank you, Mom, for making us
Happy, well, and good.
All we are depends on you:
Not what you say, but what you do.
Kids know what they should,
Yet need your hands for shaping us,
Opening and waking us,
Unveiling our view.

thank dude , dad
The things you taught me I will always know.
How could I not? The roots have sunk so deep:
All lessons of the heart that I will keep
No matter who I am or where I go.
Kids learn from what their parents are, and so
You are my book of life, the thoughts I reap;
Only in your arms I quiet sleep;
Under my words your voice sings soft and slow.
From you I learned the rules of right and wrong
Against which I at times had to rebel,
Though with regret I carry with me still.
How lucky I am to have been loved so well,
Even as I pushed against your will,
Relying on a father fair and strong.

Despite the doubts and troubles that you've gone through,
There is no doubt at all about your love.
Though many now change partners when they want to,
You've found your one and chosen not to move.
In doing so, you've given me a picture
More beautiful than any I might draw,
More potent than the most persuasive lecture,
With far more force than any rule or law.
So much you've given me! Yet what you've given
Of love and time and money and concern
Is less than what I've seen as you have striven
To make your lives a lesson I might learn.
I'm grateful for the things you did and do,
But even more, for what you made of you.
