Thankful Hearts
I wrote this
for all of you
Who work at
Central Valley Home School
Because
there are things that go unsaid
Even though
the thoughts are in our heads
First of all
I’d like to say
That I am
grateful to you every day
Because as I
watch my children as they grow
I am
thankful for the things that they have come to know
And even
though we have all done our parts
We couldn’t
have done it without your hearts
You know the
ones that took our children aside
And taught
them that they didn’t have to hide
As they
began to learn and grow
Into
somebody that only God really knows
I’m not
saying that they’re perfect little beings
As you know
proof of this has been seen
But I am
saying that it brings joy to my heart and tears to my eyes
To see them
stand up with pride
As they walk
through this life
Believing in
themselves and what is right
So remember
that when things get tough
That the
love God has put in your hearts is enough
To help you
keep pushing on
So that they
can live better lives from dusk til dawn
Knowing that
somebody truly cares
When so much
of the world really isn’t there
At least in
a way that really matters for their sakes
Because so
many things in it are sadly fake
And as they
grow into adults
They will
realize that it’s not their fault
That the
world is like it is
Because they
grew up as awesome kids
And with
some real hope
They will
truly be able to cope
And help to
change many lives
In a world
so lost and filled with strife
So thanks
again with all our hearts
For loving
our children from the start
As you‘ve
watched them grow
And go
through the things which they did go
As you
helped them see
