Mariah Carey
we all know the song
we hear it every December
(or sometimes
right after Thanksgiving,
but never before)
All I Want for Christmas Is
You
a simple message
but it stands true
and not just for the holiday season
but all the time
I couldn't
wouldn't
can't
won't
do anything without you,
Mom and Dad
who have always
loved
inspired
helped
cared for
laughed with
and all around been there
for me.
I can't imagine
and don't want to
try to realize a life without
you
there to guide me.
it's cheesy,
I know,
but I don't say it
nearly
as much as I should,
that I can't do anything without
you
in my life.
Thank you.
You're all I need.
