Thanks...

Thanks

To my mother-
her caring hands
and calm voice
that soothed me
when I was sick,
or crying for comfort.


Her smile
cheering me on
through plays
awards, and graduations.


Thank you

To my father-
for rocking me between the speakers
playing jazz music in my ears.

For listening to me rant
about my life decisions
never knowing which path to take-
your advice is worth a million.

Thank you

To my Andy-
for caring for me
and rubbing my legs
when they are cramping
after a long run.

For the dimples you shine
my way on a rainy day
and your firm embrace
asking me to stay.
