Thanks to My Stepmom

For the laughter, for the tears,
For the courage through the years.
Thanks for every shared sunrise,
For truth in place of disguise.

For the chats deep into night,
For making the wrongs so right.
Thanks for patience, boundless, vast,
For loving me as your own, steadfast.

For the paths you helped me find,
For leaving no one behind.
Thanks to you, my fears allay,
Stepmom, thank you, every day.
