I want you to know
that you've made
such a difference
  in my life
with your warmth
  and kindness.

You have taken me
into your house,
into your arms,
and into your life
with a smile
and total acceptance.

Thank you for your friendship
and all the times
when you've listened
and understood.

Thank you for loving me
as if I were your own.

Please know
how much I love you
and how much
you really mean to me.

- Poem by Gwen Harvey
