I Love You Mom

One day I was fresh and new and all the world was brand new too. All the world was fresh and new and mostly all I knew was you. You were warm and I was small and you were strong and oh so tall, And I would always lean on you and you’d be there and this I knew. The next day I was taller, stronger, in my estimation, wiser, Suddenly than you I knew much better and had knowledge wider, You could never understand, or so I thought, my thoughts and plans, You could never see my view or know what I was going through. I forgot that you were once a growing, learning, child too. The last day came and you were gone, it came so fast and seemed so long. I never knew how much I grew, how much I knew because of you. I never though I’d see the day when I don’t have you here to say, trust the Lord with all your heart and read His word and never part. God gave me you to love, and still, I love you mom, and always will.
