Just Thanks

0Just to say thanks,
For being there.
When I feel alone,
When you can just tell I’m scared.
You always can tell.
When I come home crying,
Running up to my room, collapse on my bed.
You come in and stroke my hair,
Cuddle me, talk it through with me,
And somehow make it all better.
Thanks for being so magical,
Thanks for loving me, for making me smile,
Making me feel safe and happy.
Thank you for being my Papa.

0I’m waiting for you,
Fortunately you passed by,
I caught myself smile,
I’m talking with you,
I know this isn’t a lie,
Alone in that aisle,
I’m looking at you,
with happiness that was my,
with that EVIL SMILE,
I’m smiling for you,
It is time to say goodbye,
Thanks for that sweet smile,
I walked without you,
Smiling as moments passed by,
Thanks for that sweet smile.

Thank you Bones

0Thank you, bones for all you allow,
ambling on as I am wont to do
toward duty, doom or eminence -
jumping for joy or folding a caress.
Why, without you I’d be grounded -
unable to dance the steps
or whirl to the tunes of the spherical muses.
You never raise a fuss -
All snug and quiet inside -
obeying orders to advance or fade.
(but my, what a rattle you’d all make
If it weren’t for all that juice and sinew!)
And thanks to you for subtle things
like marrowing out blood cells 24 - 7,
bending a cage for my heart
or forming a helmet for my brain.
Thanks to all 206 of you swell guys -
never angling for praise or acclaim.
I’d get you each a card.
but lack a place to send it.
Thanks bones!

0As I turn
And look at my past
I see it’s you
That’s been there for me
It’s you who was there
When I needed a shoulder to lean on
It was you who wiped my tears
Late at night when I would cry
And you were the one who loved me
I can never tell you how much
I appriciate the things you’ve done for me
If I had the world in my hands
I’d give it to you
Just to show my appreciation
‘Cause I never felt like anyone has loved me
The way you have shown me love
And there’s no one on this earth
Who would sacrifice their life
Just to make me happy
And as I think about the things you did
All I can do is cry
Because you mean so much to me
I have never loved anyone
As much as I love you
So now all I really want to do
Is take the time and say thank you
For all the things you’ve done for me

0I thank you for the good times and I
thank you for the bad.
The times you made me happy
and those when I was sad.
I thank you for your good traits, your
loving caring ways.
When I felt the world would fall apart;you held it together those days.
I thank you for the gifts you gave, both
physical and not.
Some I may keep in
my heart and others on a box.
I thank you for all the ways that you showed
you did care.
Hearing my dreams and those sad cries no one else seemed to hear.
I thank you for your own dear light that
shone only from you.
It lit the darkness of my night when shadows filled my view.
I thank you for all the things that you made sure I knew.
The knowledge of your own long years, gained through hurt, and pain, and tears.
I thank you for the strength you gave me.
When you showed just how brave I’d have to be,
to survive the tests the world gave me.
And finally I thank you for the love of generations gone before.
Without you I couldn’t have made it through, so this
is my way to say, “I Thank You”.

My Brother

0This poem is for thanking my brother
Brother, let’s come together
For celebrating this bond of ours
That’s made to last
To the day before we may not see
I may be here
You may be there
Can’t forget the space
That we share
That warm hug of yours
Curing me of all fears
That pat on the shoulder
Reminding me to be bold
Passing a hint to lure a pretty thing
Preparing me to face the test
Ridding me of the mental block
To prove to the world my real worth
I see in you the friend and the guide
That taught me ways to swim against the tide
And face the world of good and bad
To bring honor to mom and dad
I wish to see how we stand
Compare silver streaks and patches gone bald
Measure your charm and feel your warmth
To talk about the dough earned and fingers burnt
Good old friends
Helpful neighbors
Dear father and dear mother
And you my dearest brother

Thank You Sister

0I consider myself very lucky
To have a sister;
A sister, who loves me for what I am,
Not for what others see me as,
Or for what I ought to be.
She loves me truly the way I am.
We’ve fought and patched up.
We’ve shared secrets of happiness and sadness
We’ve laughed until we cried,
And then we dried each other’s tears.
I look up to her (because she’s taller than me)
We don’t laugh at each other’s mistakes,
But help each other to correct them.
She prevents me from losing my temper,
I prevent her from losing her sense of judgement.
I know none of us are perfect,
But together, we help each other to become so.
Thanks, sister
For always being there for me

0As the juice of the dell,
Soothes the fevered tongue
Your thought I profess
Naps at my conscience,
Stimulating desires, solicited
When the wind of the midnight blows,
When the sea strikes me cold,
When I get caught by the midnight cold
Desiring shelter, I found none, but,
The one I found make me warm
There’s always one thing hovering around,
It makes my day, it makes me happy,
It make me smile, it soften my heart,
Like an angel, but an angel guard
When you are close I’m happy but
When you are not there I think of sending you
A thousand knights to travel a thousand miles
On a thousand horses to meet yous and tell you that
I LOVE YOU
But, at the awake of realities,
In the inner part, across the depth of my heart,
I know that you are a true and caring soul mate
That everyone would like to have beside.
Thanks for all you do.

0Thanks for always being there when I need a friend to understand.
For the smile you bring to my lips,and the laughter to the world we’re in.
Thanks for the tissues to dry my tears on the days I thought would never end.
Thanks for your understanding words, and listening ears, in a mad world of honking honks and unkind
words.
For being the person who understands my child within.

0You are always there when I cry,
wiping all the tears until they dry.
Countless trials come and go,
but you kept me alive that’s why I love you so.
I feel happy when I’m sad,
knowing you are there, I am glad.
You’ve become my life, my everything,
you are the reason why I’m still breathing.
