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.
