Thanks for the Little While - Poem from TCF / Mommy
Thanks for the Little While
By Darcie D. Sims, Ph.D., Nov/Dec 1999
Thank you for life, for its good times and bad.
Thank you for love, even when I can't feel it.
Thank you for the love I used to share,
For the arms that held me tight
Thank you for my family
In faraway places,
In different times.
Thank you for the songs we sang,
For the dreams we saved,
For the smiles we shared.
Thank you for the strength that eludes me just now.
Thank you for the weakness that sends me to my knees.
Thank you for the searching, the reaching, the hoping.
Thank you for the bonds of memory that hold me in place,
Even when I don't believe in it anymore,
Or....forget what it is all about.
Thank you most of all,
For having been blessed with the love I have known,
Even now when I fear I will forget it.
Thank you for memory and
For filling it full measure for me.
It wasn't nearly long enough, but it will have to do.
Thanks for the moments we danced.
Thanks for the little while....
