Thank You Poem by Thabitha Marakalala

Thank you

You came in to my life
When my heart was heavy and weak
You unlocked my worn out soul and got it to speak
You came into my life
When my days were empty, cold and bleak
With just a mere kiss on my cheek
You made me live in a dream that I always seek

You chose to love me with this broken heart
You held it down even though there were days it tore you apart
With patience you taught it to love again
You held on with every being in you though it brought you so much pain
Dark nights you held it tight
With everything in you to bring it happiness you put down a fight
Though it felt dead
You always saw the light
I know loving me has been hard
I just wanna deeply thank you for having a big heart

Thank you for hearing my silence
With no words being said you could see through my pain
Thank you for carrying my tears
I thank the sun, wind and the earth
For you cause you hardly complained
Thank you for being my moon
Through you I could hear the earth changing its tune
I know I have fed you more than you can chew
But I deeply thank you for not giving up on me

I came hiding my imperfection
Yet you looked at me with affection
You led me with love to the right direction
Now i live through your marvellous reflection
To honour you till my last breath is my ultimate determination
Thank you for being who you are
And for shining in me
Thank you for everything
I love you with every breath in me...
