Thank You For the Memories
There are many ways to say thank you
But the one that stands out most
Is the one that comes from the heart
So I thought it would be best to write
You a poem of love, appreciation and thanks.
When I was a child I could not comprehend love
Love was just a word
With little meaning
I never understood it's purpose or value
The more I searched
The more complicated love became
It's actions were confusing
And my heart was always broken.
Now that I have grown
And travelled many roads
I have come to recognize
As well as understand.
That love has many meanings
And wears many faces
But true love
As funny as it seems never dies.
I remember the day
We first meet
I remember the sound of your voice
Your funny laughter.
Your strong hands
That kept me from harm
Your swift feet that embraced my falls
Your warm words that captured every smile.
These are the treasured memories
I have kept of you
I know now that love once
Had a hold on me.
Thank you for loving me
Memories like these
My soul shall treasure.
