I am remembering now

I may have forgotten, but I am remembering now,
How in this world, you showed me the where and taught me the how.
You were a guide to me through the unknown, showed me the way,
I may not have thanked you back then, but I will do today.
I may not have always been the person I could have been,
But you did your best with me, to explain the things I had seen

You were there to teach me as I tried to find a way through,
Holding together the old, as I went seeking the new.
Holding together the familiar I had let go,
So that if I ever got lost, it was still there to know.
Many years have passed since I left to carry my own load,
But for each step I have taken, you helped to build that road.
