Thank You and I Love You

I've wept
for the better part of my life
unsure
of what happiness was
or if I even deserved it

I watched
as my mother and father
struggled
to give me
what they could
what I wished
they would
have done for themselves

I've wept
for the better part of my life
as time changed them
and then
took them
before they were gray
before they were feeble
before I could give
back to them

In some ways
I see a better me
standing in the mirror
but a me still missing
something so deep and meaningful
so I weep
I weep
for the so much
I will never be able to say
thank you
and I love you

Nice poem .
