So Many Times

So many times you were there for me I can't begin to count them all When I aimed up couldn't see my way and always seemed to fall You were there for me when others tired of me To help me find my way Sometimes my nights were long seemingly never turned into day My heart was broken and seemed it would never mend Relationships severed that I thought would last unto the end Many nights I cried and days even more When I least thought you could come, you were there at my door You talked to me and walked with me more importantly you prayed for me You never gave up on what you knew I could be While others laughed and mocked at me When my appetite tight failed you fed me more of your love Pure as snow like a dove flying above So many times you have been there for me Without you mother, I could never be.
