Gratitude

~

Your smile greets me warmly,

Revealing happiness when you see me.

Your laughter always echoes in my mind,

And your voice is enclosed in my heart.



~

Your gentle touch when you are near

Is what i'll never forget when you leave.

Your eyes are tiny questioning gems,

Full of openness and sincerity.



~

You never left when i am down;

You're always there if i ever needed you.

I never seem to appreciate you,

But you accepted me for who i am.



~

I could never return the joy you bring,

Or the time you shared with me.

Neither could i return everything you gave,

Including your life and your love.



~

If only i could tell you how i feel.

And when i'm never there for you,

I would still be thankful knowing that

You loved me in a way i never thought you will...
