You gave us life,
You made us strong,
You’ve been here for us all along,
When we were sad, when we were blue,
You were always the one to come through,
When I was weak you stood by me,
And fought away all you could see,
When we were wrong,
You showed us right,
You taught us how to see the light,
You always know how to make our day,
Without you near the sky is grey,
You help us out,
Wherever you can,
Being a mom, you always have a plan,
You stand by us, in whatever we do,
And sometimes threaten with a shoe...
You always wake us up,
With coffee or tea,
Most days with a lot of difficulty,
There are some days,
When we’re not at our best,
But that is just apart of our little test,
To see how far we can really go,
Until you’re boiling from head to toe,
We really never do it on purpose,
Although that’s probably,
How it looks at the surface,
All we want to do is make you proud,
It may not seem like it,
Because we don’t say it out loud,
You’ve shown us how to care,
And how to share,
With you around,
There’s music in the air,
You always find a way,
To make everything fun,
Especially when,
We’re out and about in the sun,
You work all day,
But always make time to help us,
In whatever we do,
This is why... MOM,

WE LOVE YOU!!!
