Disclaimer- I do not own The Outsiders

Gratitude is not thanks enough

I do not know words that do it justice

What you have given me is more then I can repay

Though it's been years

I close my eyes and my mind does replay

That awful and dark day

I almost lost him in the cold waters

I almost lost him

I almost lost him

He's all I have know

And I almost didn't have that

I almost never got to tell him

He almost never knew

And he never would know

Were it not for you

He'd never know what he means to me

If you were not there he could never know

And I'd never get to see another smile

I would never hear another laugh

I never told you thank you

And now I don't think it will do

But all I have to give is my word

I'm sorry I couldn't do more

But thank you

Thank you for my little brother

The years haven't been kind

But he's here now

And things are made easier

Just with his presence near

It never occurred to me you should know

What you did would affect me so

You were quiet and gentle

I never meant for you to kill or die

And even though you've been gone

For decades and more

I'll be in your debt forever more

So I'm saying it now

Although it's not enough

Thank you for my brother

Thank you with all my love
