But words are all I have

Gratitude is too small a word..
for the endless bicycle trips around town...
for the endless one rupee ice creams
for the affectionate yet disastrous attempts at cooking ..
for sacrificing hours of sleep to ensure I don't lose a second..
for standing outside my school gate daily morning to meet ..
and for making sure I reach home safe after school..
for the neatest handwriting I've ever seen ...
for being the epitome of excellence and perfection..
for giving me wings and then letting me fly away..
for trusting me more than I trust myself..
for giving enough love to last a lifetime and more..
for being my strong old man..
and for letting me be your weakness..
oh and yes, for giving me my mom
and finding the best groom in the world for her
Gratitude truly is too small a word..
