My Mother's Birthday

My mother has always been so strong 
never realizing when I do wrong 
always fighting for what is right 
never wanting to say goodnight 

My mother has always been there 
keeping the bad men away from here 
always striving for the best 
she never settled for second best 

My mother is a talented soul 
never believing in being a mole 
Always keeping the future in sight 
always willing to doing what's right 

So on this day dear mother of mine 
I hope that you will have a wonderful time 
never doubting the future ahead 
for I am always with you in stead 

I love you so very much 
Never let us stay out of touch 

Happy Birthday I do wish 
and I give you a great big kiss
