Thank You Just Isn't Enough

For all the sleepless nights you had with me,

For all the patience you've abundantly handed me,

For all the messes of mine you've cleaned up,

Thank you just isn't enough.

 

For the time I smeared your lipstick across my face and you didn't get mad,

For the time when I was 3 and tried to walk out the house only wearing socks and shoes,

For the times I lifted up my dress in public as a toddler and you'd laugh while quickly putting it down,

Thank you just isn't enough.

 

For all the moments of senseless attitude I've given you growing up,

For all the moments when I didn't appreciate everything I have,

For all the moments I thought my life was over and you assured me I was just being dramatic,

Thank you just isn't enough.

 

For letting me borrow your car,

For helping me get ready for Prom and paying for everything,

For being at my right hand side in figuring out my future,

Thank you just isn't enough.

 

And probably never will be.
