Sonja

There’s a gentle kind of wisdom in the way you speak my name,

A beautiful and caring heart that always stays the same.

Mom, you’re the steady rock when life begins to sway,

With a clever mind and loving hands that guide me on my way.

You never left my side when the darkest hours fell,

You walked with me through shadows, you kept me safe and well.

I want to thank you for the unconditional love you give,

Mom, you’ve got a beautiful soul, as long as I shall live.

I look back on the seasons, all the trials we’ve been through,

And the one thing I could count on was the constant grace in you.

You didn't run when trouble came, you held my hand so tight,

Just being my mother, you turned the heavy dark to light.

You never left my side when the darkest hours fell,

You walked with me through shadows, you kept me safe and well.

I want to thank you for the unconditional love you give,

Mom, you’ve got a beautiful soul, as long as I shall live.

Mom, you stood by me at my darkest hour when sweet Christopher was called home,

You held my hand through all the grief so I wasn't on my own.

I love you, Mom, more than you could ever know, thank you for being you,

I'm so very proud to call you Mom, so loving and so true.

'Cause you never left my side when the darkest hours fell,

You walked with me through shadows, you kept me safe and well.

I want to thank you for the unconditional love you give,

Mom, you’ve got a beautiful soul, as long as I shall live.

Yes, you never left my side, and I'll love you while I live.
