Giving Thanks

Giving thanks for the encouragement, every step along the way

For the times you held my hand when you must have wanted to slap my face

For the non-judgmental ear and for disproving each and every fear

For the enlightenment during the darkest paths

For never giving up or giving in, tho giving all you had to help me win

For always following thru, never letting me down

For ignoring all the times I was blind, as I see clearly now

For always reminding me to look up at the horizon when I wanted to fall to the ground

For the times you steered me vertically, where ever you chose to lead I knew it was to keep from hurting me

For knowing one day I would realize the reasoning behind all you’d done, knowing none of it was ever done in vain

For every deep breath and every tear shed that you reminded me only washed away the pain

For saving me from the entire world when I thought I was merely some lost forsaken soul

For spinning me around and round, tho not to make me dizzy; but to keep me busy when I just wanted to run away

For not holding me back, or tying me down and for every bit of love I have ever found

I thank you for always being true and always being you

Lastly I thank you for loving me and always allowing me to be just that

Just me
