A Gift that says "I'm Grateful"Often in life we don't show our gratitude. Whether it be a simple "thank you" to a shop assistant or letting our parents know how grateful we are, we all too often let the moment pass. This chap used a truly expressive way of saying "thank you":
Wings - A poem from a grateful son to his supportive parents
Full Name: (requested to be withheld,
but allowed story to be published)
Who do you want the poem written for?: Mom and Dad Why do you want the poem written ?: To express my love and appreciation. Also to show them that I am what I am today because of them. Key Messages: That my transformation and success to what I am today is because of them, and that they gave me the wings to fly Memorable Moments: I would like something about how we weren't a spiritual family early on, then we became very spiritual because my dad stopped drinking. I would like me being arrested when I was 17 (now 20) and them standing by me through this very painful process explained. Also my dad recovering from alcoholism and his great influence on me. My mother never giving up on me and always knowing my potential and keeping the family together. Also my mother always showing concern even though others talked badly about her because she was watching over me to closely or overprotective. Also comment on how proud I am of my mother raising four children and achieving her college education and real estate business. I would like my goose, elk and deer hunting trips with my dad somehow in the poem because these were some of the best memories with my dad. Even though I am away at college and I don't see them as much as we would both like, they are my inspiration to do well every day. They gave me a great example on work ethic and morals. Other Comments: I hope to give them this for x-mas. Is it possible to have it done by then? I would like the poem to progress from my early childhood to now today. I wanted to put a picture in with the poem so I hope there is room. Style: Thank you for everything Package Type: Deluxe
A child is like a butterfly (or a
moth),
it needs to transform before it can
fly
and maybe that needs some
explaining,
at least I'll give it my very best try.
You see, when I was growing up,
we weren't a spiritual family early
on,
some things hadn't been mastered
and some of the right turns proved
to be wrong.
And when I was arrested,
I could have known how it felt to
be truly alone,
but you stood by me every step of
the way,
I'm very grateful for the love that
you've shown.
Dad, you've faced your dragons,
you've battled them and you've won
and I just wanted you to know,
that you have a very proud and
thankful son.
And your determination has been
inspirational,
you've shown what can be achieved
when you grit your teeth
and the willpower you've used to
beat your demons,
is to be congratulated, for at
times it's been beyond belief.
Mom, you've never, ever given up on
me
and have always encouraged me to
thrive,
you've always believed in my
potential
and you've kept the family dream
alive.
And your concern for me has been
consistent,
even though others were quick to
criticize,
you watched over me like a
protective angel
and that criticism has proved to be
a pack of lies.
Because you have raised four
children,
all with that same tender loving
care
and you've achieved an education,
started a business,
so I think that criticism was
unjust and unfair.
And some of my best memories,
in fact, they're some of the best
times I've ever had,
stalking, talking and walking,
hunting geese, elk and deer with my
Dad.
And even now I'm away at college
and mere distance may keep us
apart,
you are my inspiration to do my
best every day,
you are still there inspiring my
very heart.
You've both set such a fine
example,
I've an excellent work ethic and
morals to match
and this butterfly has found his
wings,
although, I'll admit, I took a
while to hatch.
I'd just like to thank you for
giving me those wings,
so look out for me high in that
dawn red sky,
just know that I'm very proud of
you
and thanks for teaching me how to
fly.
