Dear Mom and Dad


I’m thankful for everything you given me

I know that sometimes it’s not easy to see

I don’t know what I’d do without y’all

Y’all given me the confidence to stand tall

Taught me right from wrong

The lyrics to y’alls favorite song

Y’all will leave an everlasting mark on me

Taught me how to rebound from failure like Charles Barkley

I know y’all wish that y’all could’ve given me more things

I'm just thankful that both my parents are wearing wedding rings
