Mother's Day

Mom, You were there when I took my first steps Walking unsteadily across the floor You encouraged and guided Until my steps went out the open door You were there for my brothers and I And guess what were all together in my eyes You would always go the extra mile Just to see your children smile You were always there through thick and thin Always bringing the best of us within You've made many mistakes But that never stopped you From doing whatever it takes Worked yourself to the bone Trying to make our house into a home You were brought to us to be our guide The one who will stand by our side I know we weren't always the best to be around But you always kept your head above ground With one who is never around The one that always wants to be around And with me the one who is stuck in between But that never stopped your love You were always there through our pain and strife You will stay constant in our life Even though were somewhat far apart Doesn't mean that you’re not in our heart When life brings me down I know that you will lend me a helping hand Until I have the strength and courage to stand When those hardships come our way Even when life goes astray You’re the one who listen well And you keep your word that you will never tell When you know there is something wrong You’re the one who pokes and pries But when we don't want to talk You stand quietly by our side When I want to do something on my own Like going back to school You’re the one who gave me the strength I need Always encouraging me to succeed You’re always there when time needs you to be strong When we need someone to lean on You’re all this and more to me I'm glad that this is who you chose to be Thank you for being who you are You are the best mom by far You’re always there for us from day to day We appreciate all that you've done So Happy Mother's Day
