Ungrateful, never thankful,
I should have known that I would fall.
You held me up, held me together...
Now you aren't around to answer my call.
I know that you wouldn't want this,
You would want me to smile and to live.
But I still feel so empty,
Because I feel like life has nothing to give...
I just wanted to tell you
That I remember and cherish your light.
I just wanted you to know
You are the moon inside the darkest of nights.
I'm thankful for your smile,
I'm thankful for your wordless support.
I'm thankful for the hope and the tears,
Even though I know I fell short...
I'm thankful for the memories,
I'm thankful for the time that we had.
I know that you want so much more for me
Then to sit here in the dark feeling bad...
I was ungrateful, I was never thankful,
And you never let me fall.
You held me up, held me together,
So I'm going to give this my all...
Because you loved me I know who I am,
I can see the light and I want to live...
Thank you for everything that you gave me
you taught me to love the person within.
How could I have felt so empty
When your love fills me up inside?
I'm glad that I've had you in my life,
Even in Heaven you walk by my side

- Title: Thankful Tears
- Artist: Bella4Jacob
- Description: Thanksgiving was always just another day to stuff my face and avoid family afterward. Maybe I'd snuggle with the current boyfriend, or hang with the current best friend. But all of that changed when my Grandmother, the woman who raised me, got sick and died on Thanksgiving of last year. This is for the memories... I love you.
