To the Love of My Life

To the Love of My Life You took me in when I was so young You raised me through my years, My day of sorrow, my days of pleasure You are my third parent, guardian; my comfort You take in my pain and share it with me… Even though you usually take it better than me. I love your way of dealing with problems- The stand there and suck it up way. You are the wonderful and warm place I look forward to coming back to after a long day of school, swimming, and music. I could go on… Even though you can’t speak, every time I walk in your door I can hear you saying, “ Welcome back, I missed you” And when I go to sleep at night it’s, “Goodnight. I love you.” And if it wouldn’t be “talking to myself”, I would say “thank you” and/or “I love you too” So, thank you home, thank you My loving, Towering, Beautiful, Warm, Sturdy, Strong home. My dearest home- Thank you!
