To Honor Those Who Have Blessed Us

To honor

Those who blessed

Us is not

An easy task

Trite words

And fading flowers

Seem like so little.

Cards that speak

Words that aren’t Ours

Just aren’t enough.

To honor

Those who bless

Us

I want to pen

The lines

That carry

Meaning

I want to

Speak of

The gratitude

For all the lessons

Taught both and

Small

Because they each

Have taught us

Something lasting.

To honor those

Who have given them

So

Much I want to

Say thank you

For every bandaged need

And all the comfort

Brought during fevered dreams.
