A mother's shadow

I wrote this for my mother-n-law, for she was the mother i never had.

If I could be a shadow
Which shadow would I be
The shadow of my mother
Because she's perfect to me

She's always been there
When I needed her the most
Though times she was more of a Heavenly host

She helped bring me from a place
I never wanted to be
To a place full of beauty
As far as the eye could see

So if I were her shadow
I would stay by her side
Through all of her years
And never will I hide

Now it's my turn
To give her what she deserves
A shadow that'll always be there
When she needs me the most
