Thank You

[Gwaihir]

To the woman who is strong enough to be my hero,

But often isn't strong enough to stand,

Thank you.

 

And to the man who sometimes hates

The ones who love him most,

But knowing him--it's still worth it,

Thank you.

 

His wife who manages all that

And writes and works and raises kids,

Thank you.

 

The man who gave me all

my writing genes and so much else,

Thank you.

 

And to the man who loves us all

Who gives more than he ever should,

Thank you.

 

To my patient pillar, so much

Caring he sometimes baffles me.

Reading society, giving advice.

Thank you!

 

And to that firey gal I know

Who's wisely looking for herself ...

and flirting with everyone else!

Thank you.
