you can keep all
your millionaires
i'll take good people
and someone that cares
my mother and father taught me well
they raised me good
though i never tell
them this and never would
i'm proud of who they are
i'm proud of what they did
and it may seem bizarre
because i wasn't a grateful kid
i love my brother too
and wish him only the best
i know that he'll pull through
i've got to get this off my chest
though we often argue it means squat
and it's a dreadful cliche
but what do you want me to say?
i'm grateful for what i've got

nice poem, paul. like the flow of it, reminds me of how i write sometimes. very different from your usual writes. i enjoyed a bit of the personal stuff:)
i agree Paul. i am grateful to my parents and sisters as well, though i probably have never said it. i defnitely relate to this, and share your view in my own little way. thanks for sharing what's in your heart. great job :)
