My Mom My Teacher My World
She tied my shoes
when I was young
she was there with me
before my life had even begun
he smile was the first thing
that I ever saw
she was there for my first steps
her face filled with awe
she held me when I cried
and sometimes she'd cry too
she was the person that I went to
whenever I felt blue
now she'll watch me walk
across the stage to leave
with a smile so full of joy
you'd have to see it to believe
she'll smile as she hugs me
fighting back some tears
as memories flood her mind
recalling all past years
then she'll let me go
all too soon for me
sending me to my future
to my destiny
