| You held me in your arms When life for me was new You whispered your love for me When life dealt me some blows You held me when I cried When life let me fall You told me I could be anything When life let me grow You watched over me When life was giving me choices You gave me strength When life made me feel weak You were my light When life became dark You taught me how to love others When life tried to test me You were there when I went away When life had chosen my path You watched me become the person that I am When life had finally let me be me You are and always will be my Mother Forever there to guide me and love me An inspiration for years to come I shall take with me all that you have taught And pass it on to my children too God bless all the Mothers in the world For without them who knows where we would be today |
