Esther

There’s a story written in the way you care

A quiet kind of steady, always standing there

You didn't have to walk this road, but you stayed

And I am forever grateful for the choice you made

Esther, you looked at me and saw a missing part

You stepped right in and gave me all your heart

You are the glue that holds us all together

A dependable light through any kind of weather

With an understanding spirit, deep and true

Our family wouldn't be what it is without you

Out of all the paths that you could wander on

I'm so lucky that you chose to be my mom

When the days get heavy and the lines get crossed

You’re the compass guiding us when we feel lost

You listen with a patience that I can't explain

You take the scattered pieces and you ease the strain

It’s your open door, the wisdom in your eyes

The way you keep us grounded as the years go by

You are the glue that holds us all together

A dependable light through any kind of weather

With an understanding spirit, deep and true

Our family wouldn't be what it is without you

Out of all the paths that you could wander on

I'm so lucky that you chose to be my mom

Love is a decision, a promise that you keep

You built this foundation, strong and deep

Look at who we are, look at where we stand

We owe it to the grace of your guiding hand

'Cause you are the glue that holds us all together

A dependable light through any kind of weather

With an understanding spirit, deep and true

Our family wouldn't be what it is without you

Esther, out of all the paths you could wander on

I'm so lucky that you chose to be my mom

Yeah, you chose to be my mom
