Thank you
for forty years
for being together
even when things weren't always perfect.
Your friend stopped in to my office today.
he started crying.
I cried too.
I know you want to go there alone.
I don't like it, but I'll allow it.
After talking to Aunt K last night,
I'm going to give up that fight.
I want you to know
You don't have to look at anything
As giving up.
I won't look at it like that either.
I mean, I don't, either.
Just so you know,
I wouldn't have even made it this far.
I love you Dad.
And Mom.
Thank you both for being you
even when things weren't always perfect.
Ode to our parents: (some of "their" song, Cherish)
ReplyDeleteCherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could mold you
Into someone who could cherish me as much as I cherish you
Perish is the word that more than applies
To the hope in my heart each time I realize
That I am not gonna be the one to share your dreams
That I am not gonna be the one to share your schemes
That I am not gonna be the one to share what seems to be
The life that you could cherish as much as I do yours
