To My Parents, I Love You

I have gone through
so many different stages
changing ideas and goals
while searching for the
right kind of life for me
You were always
ready to help me
at all times
It must have seemed like
I would never
follow one straight path
Now that I know
what I am doing and
where I am going
I can only show you
my extreme appreciation
for your support
by being true
to all the ideals and values
that you tried to teach me
Thank you forever
for standing by me
I love and appreciate
you forever.
