There Is No Other...Mom
I hold you on such a pedestal
Your grace is so pure
You nurtured me from a baby
How could I ask for more?
You were patient with me during my upbringing
Ignoring my temper tantrums
But understanding me deep inside
You knew how long they would last
You always seem a mystery to me
You cut me so much slack
When at times it can seem you are being hard
But in the end---mom knows best
I will love you to the end
Nothing will ever part us
‘Cause being without your guidance in this life
I don’t know if I could trust
I love you because you are not a friend
You can clearly be seen as my mother
Or maybe because or your wisdom
Possible my grandmother
I am so happy I got the two for the price of one
Since I wasn’t fortunate enough to meet the latter
But as always God knew
So he combined the spirits to create the former
I almost cry when the thought of how good you are comes to mind
I couldn’t see anyone else taking the place of Mom
Love you Mom!
