The Giving of Thanks

[forceworks]

To my boyfriend:
for supporting
for loving
for five years and counting

To my mother:
for caring
for sharing
and most of all: understanding

To my relatives:
for accepting
for welcoming
for always doing the inviting

To my coworkers:
for showing
for guiding
for learning and growing

To my friends:
for dreaming
for hoping
for guiding and abiding

To my family:
for trusting
for knowing
for essential secret-keeping

Words alone cannot express
How much gratitude I feel.
But you know how much I want to give
You see it every day in what I do.

Giving back is part of who I am.
And it is more than words or things.
It is actions, thoughts, and ideals.
All of which I learned from all of you.

Thank you.
