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!
