Thank you

To the person who has supported me through thick and thin
who toilet trained me
answered all my questions
and brought me up to be the strong woman i am today

the woman who gave passed her unbelievable gift to me
but somehow i'm not as unselfish, loving, or forgiving as her
her only dream was to make me successful
to give me all that she didn't have

the person who gave up their happiness in life
so that others could enjoy some
but all that resulted was bitterness
and anger directed at the person who deserved it least of all

grandma-how can i tell you how much you've meant to me
how your believing in me has made me who i am
and you are my favorite person of all
although, sometimes we don't agree..don't ever doubt that i love you

my hope is that one day, i can give you back some of the happiness that you've given me
i'll never be ashamed at you
although, i do get aggravated..i have no reason
you have been my angel..and more of a mother than i deserved

you will see me graduate with a law degree
you'll see me married, happy, with kids that i love
i owe all my successes to you
and just like you..i'm born with one flaw..the desire to just be loved

believe that one day..i'll take you into the sunshine with me
and rescue you from all your sadness and hurt feelings
i'm sorry that i've hurt you
but just know that you always have and always will be my favorite, my angel, and more of a mother grandmother combinaton that i've deserved

don't believe for a second that you haven't accomplished in your life
schooling doesn't make you wise, smart, or even better
you've nourished so many, you've guided so many, but have done it without appreciation
so happy birthday, grandma, and many more, because i want to show you what you've helped me do all along

you were the only one who truly knew how intelligent i was
how capable i am
and how much heart i really have
because you are the one person who gave it to me

i wish that your life hasn't been such a struggle
but i know that you will be rewarded someday
if i don't do anything else, i just want to make you proud
i love you grandma, more than the world
