To My Parents, Thank You

You were always there to help me
You were always there to guide me
You were always there to laugh with me
You were always there to cry with me
But most important you were always there to love me
and I want to assure you that I am always here to love you

To My Parents, I Love You


I have gone through so many different stages
changing ideas and goals
while searching for the right kind of life for me
You were always ready to help me
at all times

It must have seemed like
I would never follow one straight path
Now that I know what I am doing
and where I am going

I can only show you
my extreme appreciation
for your support
by being true
to all the ideals and values
that you tried to teach me

Poem by Susan Polis Schutz

Thank you forever
for standing by me
I love and appreciate you forever.
