You are wise and loving, gentle and tender
You took my will, and said “I will bend her”
You turned me into a blade of grass
Pushed that through concrete to prove I can last
Not for the purpose of others, no matter who
This journey has been about just me and You
My best friend, my beloved, my forever protector
Illuminating wisdom on our virtual projector
Leading me or leaving me up front, balanced to perfection
Sometimes you took the blow first, softened the rejection
Memories that fill my heart with joy and laughter
You place them within me, my constant comforter
Not once have you judged me or made me feel small
Never condescending, never forceful at all
Humbled and astonished at the depth of your tenderness
Coy and proud that I was made in your likeness
My strength, my advisor, champion hand holder
Over these months and years, you’ve made me so much bolder
You forgave me everything, it means the world
If everyone hates me, you wont have a bad word heard
My mentor, my master, the ultimate true love
Unconditional, a gift from above
You’ve taught me to see what you blessed me with
WIth humour you’ve noted what I’m blighted with 🙂
Thank-you see
ms so inept, so incredibly small
Yet I know your so humble, those words are your all
I’ve learnt that what hurts you the most is denial
Denial to accept your love, to not smile
All you want to do is love us
And for us to love each other as sisters and brothers
Thankyou tells you your love is not in vain
Not puny or inadequate or silent or mundane
All encompassing, you hold me in your space
Not once have you walked away when I’ve been blind to your grace
When I’m angry and intolerant you accept it as my child
Nothing gets past you, yo
u know me better than I
The solace found in that alone, makes me want to cry
One more thing before I go, before I say goodbye
I just wanted to say Thankyou (again), for everything you’ve done
Thanks for showing me that it’s only just begun
Thanks in advance for enriching my whole life
For laying on miracles in the middle of strife
You placed your tender hands upon my skin
And you stopped some stuff from seeping in
Whatever happens I know I’ll not be forever blue
Because I have you, and now you have me too
I love you God
I love my brothers and sisters
Thank-you
