You Were There

Before I drew my first breath you were there Before I took my first step you were there Before I said my first words you were there You chose to have me and to hold me You chose me to be your child and you became my mom Through every storm of my young years You were there When you could have left and turn away You were there, you chose to stay Through every new step, run, walk or dance You were there, you smiled and said child take a chance Through every grade, school or other You were there, you are my mother I am certain through your years on earth You must have wished to return to childlike fun and fantasy that was when life was fun, when life proved to be easy When storms did come, you stood at the ready knowing you had to defend, you never complained though tears did fall, the Grace of God kept you He held you close and you did not fall I admire you mom, you are the loveliest women I know Your smile, your looks, your heart, your soul You are so lovely in every way, even now, when I see you, you make my day You were a daughter first so dedicated, so loyal then a mother so beautiful, never spoilt Then you were friend and grandmother too, You are amazing, that is why we love you In all the stages of your life As mother, daughter, sister, wife You have remained so wonderful We as your children, your family and friends forget sometimes, you are also human though it never stops us from giving you a call I admire you mom and strive to be like you To have your strength, your beauty, your style I know I will never take the place of Gods most loveliest earth angel I appreciate the time you give and the love so true the fierce way you protect me no mother is better than you You are my hero in every which way words spoken cannot do the truth justice Mom I love you so very dearly I am proud to know you as mother and friend Truly your life is part of mine, until the very end.
