Because of You

Whenever I’m scared
And my mom isn’t there
I run and find her,
Because I love her and care.

Over the years
Each time I’ve been scared,
You’ve always been here,
Because of you, mom, I’ve been spared.

As I grew up
There were many moments of fear,
You’ve taught me to be a grown up,
You held me close and called me your dear.

Because of you,
I’m fearless,
Unafraid of being hurt
And tearless.

You have been my role model,
My someone to look up to.
You kept me safe, but never coddled.
I embodied the strength I saw in you.

Because of you,
I’m not heartless 
And my love is true,
Because of you, I’ll never settle for less.

You’ve quieted the monsters in the dark
As you lulled me to sleep.
You took my creativity and ignited it’s spark,
You always comforted me whenever I would weep.

I got it from my momma,
I know that is true
The reason I don’t fear tomorrow
Is because of you.


Like mother,
Like daughter,
I’ll protect him forever
And fill him with laughter.

The way I love,
I learned from you,
I go above and beyond,
I’ll be the reason he pulls through.

He is my son,
I am his glue.
It feels like his life has just begun,
As I kiss his latest boo-boo.

I look into his eyes,
So full of life and bright
And I remember why
I keep fighting the good fight.

I am who I am
Today because of you.
My love for you weighs a billion kilograms,
I love you THIS MUCH,
Please know that that’s true.

I strive to be a good mother,
My son is my sunshine
And he’ll never have another,
So I will be the best that I can be 
this time and forever.

Life just isn’t fulfilling
Without children in it,
For those who are willing,
There’s nothing quite like being the lap
In which they sit.

I live for the hugs,
His smile melts my heart,
He is my doodlebug
And has been from the start.


My dear son,
Mommy loves you,
From the earth to the moon 
And all across the seas.
