Always thought I’d be someone
Then I thought I was wrong
Never did very much with
What I did all along
But you, you were always there
And I knew that you cared
Now I know I’ve been someone
Someone all along
You never cared very much for

What I feared all along
You made me feel so good
And you told me I would
Always, always be someone
Someone all life long
Always, always be someone
Someone your life long.

Your poem speaks volumes about the love you have for your parents ... I know you miss them.
What a beautiful poem about the faith your folks had in you...My mom died in 2007 and my dad in 2011..I miss them so much.
Sending you hugs on this day. P xx
This is so sweet...the image you use definitely helped to bring depth to the meaning behind the who in this piece. So touching. :)
How noble of you,Kay! It's only when they are not with us that we missed them much more(both my parents had passed on) Sometimes little things bring tears. If we have dishes my late mother used to make it just needs someone to mention it and that would start it. Bless them all!

This is so beautiful, Kay. You are so talented. You always manage to find the right words to express your thoughts. Your parents must have been really special people to have nurtured a person as amazing as you.
No matter how many years pass, they are still our mom or dad and, if they have passed we always miss them. Lovely thoughts and tribute to your parents.
It is such a special thing to remember a parent in poetry on their birthday - so heart-warming. Thank you for sharing your words with us, Kay.
This is beautiful, Kay. How lovely to see that they still shine through you. Many blessings.
awwww. hugs!
