How do you say thank you When “thank you” just doesn’t seem big enough? My heart is overflowing with gratitude Some visits become beautiful memories This one became part of our hearts From the very beginning We knew we weren’t alone You guided us right to your home We stepped onto that deck And from that moment on We didn’t feel like visitors We felt at home Every meal was made With so much love and kindness It wasn’t just the beautiful food It was the care behind it Nowhere else we needed to be Nothing else we needed to do Just sit, rest, eat, talk And simply be with you Every little detail was thought of Every need was taken care of But the greatest gift of all Was simply your time You opened your home and your hearts You gave us somewhere our hearts could rest We laughed, we cried We talked all night And somehow left a little lighter inside You opened your home and your hearts And gave us more than words could ever say Some visits become beautiful memories This one became part of our hearts And it’s staying that way We reminisced We chatted for hours Shared memories, stories Desires and dreams We laughed—a lot We shed a few tears And somewhere in between all of that There was healing happening here Feet up on the coffee table Chatting like we did growing up Everyone gathered around the room Life simply moving around us Nothing forced Nothing expected We were just family being family And that was more than enough There is no gift quite like Being welcomed into someone’s home And being allowed To completely be yourself You opened your home and your hearts You gave us somewhere our hearts could rest We laughed, we cried We talked all night And somehow left a little lighter inside You opened your home and your hearts And gave us more than words could ever say Some visits become beautiful memories This one became part of our hearts And it’s staying that way A clean truck A clean trailer Fresh water for the road Full bellies Hearts overflowing More kindness than you’ll ever know We arrived carrying a lot in our hearts And somehow when we left Our hearts felt a little lighter WOW really is all I have left to say There wasn’t one detail left undone Thank you for opening your home Thank you for giving us your time Thank you for feeding us Caring for us Laughing with us Crying with us Reminiscing with us Making new memories with us You opened your home and your hearts You gave us somewhere our hearts could rest We laughed, we cried We talked all night And somehow left a little lighter inside You opened your home and your hearts And gave us more than words could ever say Some people open their door to you You opened your home and your hearts Some visits become beautiful memories This one became part of our hearts We drove away knowing without a doubt Just how blessed we are to call you family From the deepest part of our hearts Thank you We love you both More than words could ever say How do you say thank you When “thank you” just doesn’t seem big enough?
