Kathy

There were days I was stubborn, and lost in the gray

But you never let shadows stand in your way

Kathy, your beauty shines straight from your soul

A caring and gentle heart making me whole

I look back on the years and the tears that I cried

And my beautiful mother was right by my side

Thank you for loving me when I was hard to love

When the storm clouds were gathering heavy above

Thank you for being there when the world seemed so cold

You gave me a shelter, a hand I could hold

For everything you do, and all that we've been through

Thank you, Mom, for just being you

Now the pages are turning, a new chapter starts

And I watch how you capture the little ones' hearts

You're an amazing grandma, so patient and true

Giving them all of the magic I knew

You rock them to sleep with that same tender grace

And I see my own childhood right there in your face

Thank you for loving me when I was hard to love

When the storm clouds were gathering heavy above

Thank you for being there when the world seemed so cold

You gave me a shelter, a hand I could hold

For everything you do, and all that we've been through

Thank you, Mom, for just being you

I didn't always say it, I didn't always show

Just how much I needed you, but I want you to know

Through every mistake and the times I would fall

Your amazing devotion just carried me through it all

So thank you for loving me when I was hard to love

When the storm clouds were gathering heavy above

Thank you for being there when the world seemed so cold

You gave me a shelter, a hand I could hold

For everything you do, and a heart that is so true

Thank you, Kathy, for just being you
