My writing you always encouraged
because of you i know it flourished
your struggle taught me i am flawed
thank you for wrestling with God
Talking always was your thing
you liked to know all my feelings
it was hard to listen to the chatter
but i'm glad you taught me feelings matter
Everything was near perfect
but my heart couldn't connect
thank you for letting love remain
when i couldn't do the same
Because of you i felt free
to be who i was made to be
you pointed me to lots of books
taught me to take a closer look
Each day with you took some convincing
i learned that words were not for mincing
you showed me that i could be strong
when i knew something was wrong
Even though our time was short
you were a comforting support
thank you for being kind to me
but thank you most for lavishing
Countless days i felt you near
even though you were not here
i learned to laugh and take lightly
those things i had once held tightly
how closely i read every page
and edited at every stage
now all my books are on the shelf
nothing to read except myself
