I'd like to tell you
you were the wind
beneath my wings
but I learned to fly on my own
I'd like to tell you
you were the rock
I could always lean on
but erosion weathered
you long ago
I'd like to tell you
you're the one person
I could always count on
but you were never around
I'd like to thank you
for teaching me lifes'
lessons and values
but I was self-schooled
I'd like to thank you
for taking care of me
all through childhood
but I fended for myself
I'd like to tell you
that I appreciate
all you gave me
but my gift basket was empty
I'd like to thank you
for always putting me first
ahead of all others
but in truth I was non-existent
but I will tell you
I am thankful
you gave me life
at least you got that right
