But, you do

You may not know it,

But, you've helped me believe.

You may not know it, 

But, you've showed me love.

You may not know it, 

But, you're the reason I still try.

You may not know it, 

But, you've taught me so much.

You may not know it, 

But, you make feel like I'm enough.

You may not know it, 

But, I need you.

You may not know it, 

But, I'm thankful for you.

You may not know it, 

But, I love you like a mom.

Now, I hope you know,

Everything you may not have known before.

Yes you should. I was raised by a stepmother. I bought her a card and wrote a poem 45 years ago. She held the card close till her death. Kind words and appreciation is always needed. Thank you for the beautiful poem.

Definitely show her; it's so very heartwarming. A couple of things: third stanza, last line. Your should be you're. Also, put a space after your commas. Other than that, superb!
