RP from 2006 Board: This is SO beautiful (For mom or dad)

Hi...

Today I was at work cleaning old files from my computer when I came across a folder titled 'wedding'. I opened it and found a poem I had stumbled across when I first got engaged. I saved it because it is something I want to give my mom at the rehersal dinner when I plan to give out my bridal party gifts. It put a tear to my eye when i read it again today I want to do something nice with this, like maybe frame it or engrave it on something. (Its pretty long, so I may need to think of some ideas..)

This is one of the most beautiful poems I have ever read and would like to credit the author, but unfortunately I dont know who wrote it.
I hope you ladies enjoy it. You may want to share my idea and dedicate this poem to your mom, dad, grandma.. grandpa.. whomever. its absolutely beautiful... Please let me know of any ideas as to how I should present this as a keepsake.

Thanks and enjoy...

Poem for mom

How could I possibly thank you enough,
The one who makes me whole,
The one to whom I owe my life,
The forming of my soul.

The one who tucked me in at night,
The one who stopped my crying,
The one who was the expert,
At knowing when I was lying.

The one who makes such sacrifices,
To always put me first,
Who lets me test my broken wings,
In spite of how it hurts.

Who paints the world a rainbow,
When it’s filled with broken dreams,
Who explains it all so clearly,
When nothing is what it seems.

What way is there to thank you,
For your heart, your sweat, your tears,
For ten thousand little things you’ve done,
For oh, so many years.

For changing with me as I changed,
Accepting all my flaws,
Not loving cause you had to,
But loving 'just because.'

For never giving up on me,
When your wits had reached their end,
For always being proud of me,
For being my best friend.

And so I come to realize,
The only way to say,
The only thank you that's enough,
Is clear in just one way.

Look at me before you,
See what I've become,
Do you see yourself in me?
The job that you have done?

All your hopes and all your dreams,
The strength that no one sees.
A transfer over many years,
Your best was passed to me.

Thank you for the gifts you give,
For everything you do,
But thank you, Mom, most of all,
For making dreams come true.

Love,
Your daughter
