Thank You

I've known it all along You'd return to Mother Earth Now that time has come That knowing doesn't stop the hurt Before you set off on your way Please allow me 'cause I forgot to say Thank you for everything you did for me Thank you for friendship and for family Thank you for your lasting positivity Thank you you will live on in my memory Thanks for all you did for me You fought through all the years Now we lay you down to rest I'm holding back the tears And the words our hearts cannot express Picture you at peace in the clouds Let's all join hands and together sing aloud Thank you for everything you did for me Thank you for friendship and for family Thank you for your lasting positivity Thank you you will live on in my memory Thanks for all you did for me Dust we are and to dust we all return That's been the way since the dawn of man Thanks for leaving your spirit behind We dedicate to you and sing this one more time Thank you for everything you did for me Thank you for friendship and for family Thank you for your lasting positivity Thank you you will live on in my memory Thank you my everything from A to Z Thank you for wisdom that you gave for free Thank you for peace and love and harmony Thank you may your fire burn eternally Thanks for all you did for me Thank you Thank you for being a friend and for being my family Thank you for being a satellite in my world Someone I can turn to for advice and support Thank you for being a blessing in my life Thank you for bringing me hope when all seemed doomed For helping me to appreciate the little things And that life's not all about the big things Thank you for the lessons about learning to love everybody equally And not to be judgemental When we judge others in most cases we judge ourselves Thank you for helping me to understand the power of forgiveness And for cutting ties with negative thoughts and emotions Thank you for teaching me that to react with anger is the easy option And not to take on the anger of others Doing so we lose the chance of a little serenity That we will never get back Now I realise my thoughts and actions must be conscious Must be deliberate must be considered Not simply adopted because someone tells me I must I am responsible Thank you for reminding me to be myself I am the best version of me And no-one can do you better than you can So thank you
