"mom In a Million"

This is easy, the one in a million in my life is my Mother...
With such tough years that have passed through our
family, she is the rock to keep it together...
As she has so nicely told me as a teenager, I brought you
into this world and I can take you out...
I am so much a reminder to her of my Dad, the good 
and the bad...
She and I share that way to make everyone smile when
life is a little sad...
I have learned to cook as a child watching her put together
those Sunday Italian meals...
Now its my turn to show her on the holidays what I could do
in the kitchen with a taste that steals...
Without my Mom I wouldn't be the man or as she says the 
child I am today....
She is with out a doubt a one in a millon, and I know why my Dad 
held her all his days....
