You gave me life; you gave me love.
You calmed me with the words you said.
You protected me from the bogeyman,
And the monsters under the bed.
I had bad dreams and you were there,
To tell me it�d be Ok.
And when I didn�t know what to do,
You�d guide me with the things you�d say.
I always had essential things,
Like clothes, food, and shoes.
And even though funds were tight,
Candy, toys, and crayons for me to use.
I grew up unappreciative,
And yet you stuck it through.
No matter how much I cursed and swore,
And said I hated you.
And now that I am all grown up,
I�m wondering how to repay,
All those things you said and did,
And still giving me today.
There are no words to express,
The love I have for you.
The things you taught me in my life,
Has helped me to get through.
Mother you are so dear to me,
I hope that one day I�ll be,
Half the mom to my kid,
As the mother you�ve been to me.
I LOVE YOU, MOM!!
