 This is a poem I wrote for everyone that has ever helped me throughout my life. To my dad, to my oldest sister, and a teacher that was there for me.Through life's game of pain, you were the one who helped me. You showed me there was more, to just open my eyes and see. You showed me the right paths, in which I should take. Proving to me you were someone, whose love was nowhere near being fake. You taught me that, in right and wrong there was a line. And if I choose the correct one, life for me would be just fine. Now I would like to say thank you, for everything you've ever done. You've helped me reach goals, that showed me I have won.

This is a great poem! It's wonderful to have people like that in your life, people that are willing to help you through anything. This is a beautiful tribute to them. Keep up the great work!

I found this poem inspiring, you did a great job writing it. I think the end is great: "You've helped me reach goals, that showed me I have won." |
