But, you do

But, you do

A Poem by Marissa

You may not know it,
But, you've helped me believe.

You may not know it, 
But, you've showed me love.

You may not know it, 
But, you're the reason I still try.

You may not know it, 
But, you've taught me so much.

You may not know it, 
But, you make feel like I'm enough.

You may not know it, 
But, I need you.

You may not know it, 
But, I'm thankful for you.

You may not know it, 
But, I love you like a mom.

Now, I hope you know,
Everything you may not have known before.

I don't know why you think this is sucky. It's really good and I could almost sing it because it flows so well.

Thank you! I'm so glad you like it...would love more reviews on my other work. Please. (:
lovely sentiment. very nicely penned...suggestion: instead of beginning every thought with the same line, why not begin with "you may not know it" and then remove the couplet format and list each thought she may not know, one after another...repetition can be very effective as a tool but in this case i fear it is too much and swallows your message. inother words, only put in "you may not know it" once..at the beginning..try it and see what you think of the results. i am happy to read and review your work,but remember we all want equal attention. this is what i meant by "quid pro quo"...it is Latin...look it up on google

Thank you! And I am going to some time.
yes, it will warm her heart. We need to tell people how much they mean to us while we have the chance. You may consider framing it and giving it to her as a Christmas present....she would love that.

yes yes yes.... only get your 'you'r and 'you're' right LOL Seriously, wouldn't you want to know? I live for those moments when I've made enough of a positive impression on someone that it improves the day for them; this lady obviously has left a longer lasting impression than that so tell her!

I mean if someone really looked up to you, wouldn't you want them to tell you?

Oh okay I thought that's what you meant, but wasn't positive. And yes I would great point.
Of course you should! It's beautiful and she'd love it. Even if it isn't the most poetically advanced thing you've ever written, it's well-written and heartwarming. A very sweet thing to give to someone you love.
