Mama

You are the meaning of true life
   you make everything wrong right
   I wish I could walk like you
   your smile your grace is so true

   I'm so happy to have a mother like you
   one who understands we all go through
   bad times
   but when I fall you are there to put me on the line

   you keep me focused wih my eye on the prize
   everlasting life we all have inside

   mama you've seen me at my worst times
   but you always back me up at the drop of a dime
   you don't always rescue me
   it's just like you say
   sometimes we just learn the hard way
   
   I am so glad I can call you my mom
   your style all of that is the bomb
