My Last Confession To You Poem by Tori Fleck Fournelle

I was watching you sleep the other day
And prayed it would last
The peace that rested on your precious face
I'd never seen in the past

I was watching you speak a while ago,
And hoped you would go on
The way your words came across,
they had no end
Your spirit seemed so strong

I was watching you and fight the other day,
And I prayed my tears would dry
All this, I knew was dome for me
And I couldn't figure out why

I was watching you smile a while ago,
And I stared in total awe
Was it me who made you shine?
Was that argument that I saw, real?

And all this time you've waited,
And all this time you've helped,
and all this time you've sacrificed,
for me to grow up well.

And all the tears you dried,
And all the pain you soothed,
And all the truths you had to hide,
Without a simple thank you

But, I was watching you the other day,
And I realized, I can't wait
To tell you how much I appreciate,
and love you in every way
