Our Beautiful Mom

"Our Beautiful Mom”
© 2015 Michelle Lynn LeBlanc



Mom, here I sit on this special day, 
Thinking of you and your caring ways

You were always so giving
Had a heart that was true
You sure loved your kids
There was no wrong we could do

Even when we were selfish
You'd always find a way
To give more of yourself
Without any delay

You loved us unconditionally
Wanted us to always have the best
Always giving all that you had
Not caring if you had anything left

That was just who you were
It sure came naturally for you
You loved to brag up your kids
But never saw the beauty in you

But Mom, you were beautiful
In just so many ways 
You left a lasting impression
That will remain all our days

You gave us so many memories
How growing up could be fun
Pranking total strangers 
Was one of your favourite ones

Yes, you were beautiful, Mom
And we will never forget
The legacy you left us
And the example you set!
