  • Wow it's been a long time since I've visited my account they've changed everything! I need to get back into my groove of writing just been so busy being a new Mommy!!!

my everything

You were and always have
been my everything.
In the word everything
I mean my provider.
In the word provider
I mean my teacher.

Teacher of the world.
You were there to catch me
when I was learning to walk.
You were there with a bandaid
ready when I fell.
You taught me the words that
I am able to speak today.
You were my sunshine
on all of my sad days.
You were my everything.

In the word everything
I mean my world.
You showed me to always be
able to take care of myself.
No matter how cruel this world can be.
Always keep my head up and smile and
never let anyone or anything get me down.
I am strong because
I am a part of you.

So because of all those things
I want to thank you for
always being there for me.
Showing me everything
you have shown me.
Providing me with everything
I have had.
Teaching me things
still to this day that
you have taught me.
I don't know if there are ever enough words
to say thank you and I love.
I love you and thank you
for helping me become
the person that
I am today.

Very nice--- I wish everyone had someone like this in their lives. I was fortunate enough to have two, and they're still together after 50 yrs (Mom & Dad). Thanks for sharing this. 10 from me..
