A New Chapter of Life
Thank you for your kindness
Thank you for your compassion
Thank you for your hugs when I needed one
Thank you for your trust in me
Thank you for scolding me
Thank you for comending me
Thank you for your good
Thank you for your ugly
Thank you for your cheer
Thank you for believing in me
most of all
Thanks for the lessons
When I grow up
I want to be just like you
But I am grown
But still feel like I haven't grown up yet
I guess I will never stop growing up
in my mind
but
again
thank you
for your guidance
and love
goodbye
for now
but
I am
sure
I will have more to thank you for in the future.

Thanks!
Thank you for the very nice comment :). I can't wait to read some of your writing as well :D.
Great!
Alex, your poem really got me to think. I liked the line "Thank you for your good / Thank you for your ugly." It makes me feel like you see people in a realistic way, and it reminds me to accept those I love fully.
Also, I like how you dealt with the complicated issue of growing up. When are we grown up? Is it a specific age limit in a doctor's textbook? 13? 14? 18? 21? Or is it possible that there IS no finish line - that we "will never stop growing up" like you said? I like that idea a lot. It makes me feel a lot more comfortable and not worry about the expectations for certain ages - even 22!
:D

This is beautiful, and wow...
This is beautiful, and wow... kind of sad too. Lonesome, I guess. Very sweet though. And, along with everyone else, I welcome you to Apricot Pie!
