This may not be the most original, but it's all I can give... It barely seems enough now that I think how much my mother gave up for me.
My Wish Is Appreciation
This special Christmas wish
That comes with love to you
Brings warm and heartfelt thanks
For all the thoughtful things you do.
Even though it seems I don't even care
I realize it takes a lot for you to still be here.
So I'm sorry for not showing how much I know
How much pain you strive so hard to control.
So as the months come and go, in this hard time of life,
And Christmas arrives, faster than a reindeer can hope to achieve,
I want to take this occasion
To make you realize
I do not take the time to say
That I appreciate all you do.
So here's the love I hardly show:
Happy Christmas Mom, and lots of love to you.
And thank you for caring all your life, through and through.
