because they loved me

they held me up when i was down and

cheered me on in my times of happiness
they watched me fall, helped me stand up and

shaped me into a better person today
they dealt with the strings of hurtful words

I’ve hurled at them during my adolescence
they always believed in me,

especially at times when I refused to believe in myself
they showed me the precise definition of FAMILY
they loved me more than anyone else in the whole world

and i am everything i am today

because they loved me
