Actions Speak Louder Than Words

"Actions speak louder than words" 
Is what they always say.
But I've found throughout the years,
It's not just a clich�.
You held my hand when times were tough,
You kissed away the tears,
You hugged me close when I was scared
to help erase my fears.
You smiled at me when I was good,
frowned when I was bad,
You laughed each time I carried on,
And cried when I was sad.
It's with the actions I have grown,
We've learned from one another.
What I'm thankful for most of all,
Is for you, my dearest mother.
