Tell my mother that I’m sorry
for taking her for granted
that I’m thankful for everything
especially the prayers that she chanted

Tell my dad that he’s important
since I don’t remind him enough
that being a dad can be hard
and I recognize it's tough

Tell my brother I admire him
in every aspect of his life
except maybe his cooking
he’s a safety hazard with a knife

Tell my grandma that I love her
for everything she does
and I want to hug her tightly
for everything and just because

Tell my grandpa that I miss him
his laughter and kind soul
the way the summer breeze felt
on our daily evening strolls

Tell my house it was a friend
a place to recharge my aching shell
that no matter where I go
That it’ll be the place I always dwell

Tell yourself it's okay
to not always be grown up
sometimes we have to be a child
and need or family’s aid
a gentle hand to grasp onto
one which won’t be easily swayed
