JUST WANTED TO SHARE THIS
SOMETIMES I KNOW THE WORDS TO SAY
GIVE THANKS FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE
BUT THEN THEY FLY AWAY AS QUICKLY AS THEY COME
HOW COULD I POSSIBLY THANK YOU ENOUGH.
THE ONE WHO MAKES ME WHOLE.
THE FORMING OF MY SOUL
THE ONE WHO TUCKED ME IN AT NIGHT
THE ONE WHO STOPPED ME FROM CRYING
THE ONE WHO WAS THE EXPERT
AT PICKING UP WHEN I WAS LYING.
THE ONE WHO SAW ME OFF TO SCHOOL
AND SPENT DAYS ALONE
YET MAGICALLY PRODUCED A SMILE AS SOON AS I CAME HOME
THE ONE WHO MAKES SUCH SACRIFICES
TO ALWAYS PUT ME FIRST
WHO LETS ME TEST MY BROKEN WINGS
IN SPITE OF HOW IT HURTS
WHO PAINTS THE WORLD A RAINBOW
WHEN ITS FILLED WITH BROKEN DREAMS
WHO EXPLAINS IT ALL SO FREELY
WHEN NOTHING IS WHAT IT SEEMS
ARE THERE REALLY WORDS FOR THIS?
I FIND THIS QUESTION TOUGH
ANYTHING I WANT TO SAY JUST DOESN'T SEEM ENOUGH
WHAT WAY IS THERE TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR HEART, YOUR SWEAT, YOUR TEARS
FOR TEN THOUSAND LITTLE THINGS YOUV'E DONE
FOR OH SO MANY YEARS
FOR CHANGING WITH ME AS I CHANGED
ACCEPTING ALL OF MY FLAWS
NOT LOVING CAUSE YOU HAD TO
BUT BECAUSE LOVING WASN'T ENOUGH
FOREVER NEVER GIVING UP ON ME
WHEN YOUR WITS HAD REACHED THE END
FOR ALWAYS BEING MY BEST FRIEND
AND SO I COME TO REALIZE THE ONLY WAY TO SAY
THE ONLY THANK YOU THATS ENOUGH
IS CLEAN IN JUST ONE WAY
LOOK AT ME BEFORE YOU
SEE WHAT I'VE BECOME
DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN ME
THE JOB THAT YOU HAVE DONE
ALL YOUR HOPES AND DREAMS THE STRENGTH THAT NO ONE SEES
A TRANSFER OVER MANY YEARS YOUR BEST WAS PASSED TO ME
THANK YOU FOR THE GIFTS YOU GIVE
FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO
BUT THANK YOU MOM MOST OF ALL
FOR MAKING MY DREAMS COME TRUE

WHEN I READ THIS IT MADE ME CRY
