My Teacher My Mom

My mother was my teacher she gave me her all.
So when I had troubles she's the one I'd call.

If I needed her help she was always there.
To help me through life and teach me to share.

I was the middle child four girls and three boys.
We brought my mom so much love and joy.

When I was little she taught me to walk.
My first words were"I LOVE YOU" as she
            taught me to talk.

If I cut my finger or fell and scraped my knee.
She'd kiss it and say now it's better baby.

She helped me with my homework no matter
                       what it was.
She's the best mom at no matter what she does.

As times got hard and as I traveled through life.
She led through example how to be a good mom 
                   and a good wife.

She was the best at everything she did.
Even though I wasn't her only kid.

My mother made me the person that I wanted to be
Standing proud,truthful and strong for her to see.
