FOR MY MOTHER ... FOREVER AND A DAY

God hand-picked you to be my mom;
(I knew this from the start)…
And no one else can ever fill
Your place inside my heart.

Many times I've failed to see
How much you've done for me...
or how you gave your very best
So sacrificially.

But Mom I need to tell you,
How very much I've grown…
I know you've place my needs above
Any needs you had alone.

You've been the greatest mother,
My teacher and my friend…
You've shown me what it means to give,
(And give and give again.)

I'm thankful for you, Mother,
Much more than I can say…
All my life, you'll be with me
And your love will guide my way.

Our souls are joined together
In a bond that will not stray…
You and me, our spirits free,
Forever and a day.
