Bonnie

Packed five kids in the backseat, headed down the interstate

Driving south to Florida, you had a brand new life to make

You opened up that beauty shop, independent and so strong

I grew up right beside you there, it's right where I belonged

Watching you work hard for us, standing on your own two feet

You made a beautiful life for us and made the memories sweet

Happy birthday, Bonnie, to the mother who gave her all

You put everybody else first, and caught me when I'd fall

With a heart full of forgiveness and a patient, gentle touch

I can’t express how thankful I am, I love you, Mom, so much

For the selfless way you live your life, and the beauty that you see

Thank you for your unconditional love, and never giving up on me

I remember all those endless hours in the hospital room

Through every single surgery, you chased away the gloom

You sat right by my bedside, you never failed to show

A steady rock to lean on when my strength was running low

You took care of yourself so you could take care of us all

Whenever I was hurting, Mom, you answered every call

Happy birthday, Bonnie, to the mother who gave her all

You put everybody else first, and caught me when I'd fall

With a heart full of forgiveness and a patient, gentle touch

I can’t express how thankful I am, I love you, Mom, so much

For the selfless way you live your life, and the beauty that you see

Thank you for your unconditional love, and never giving up on me

You're the definition of a caring soul, a fierce, unyielding light

You carried all our burdens and you made the heavy light

I look back on the miles we drove and the years that we've been through

And I just hope I have a fraction of the strength I see in you

So happy birthday, Bonnie, to the mother who gave her all

You put everybody else first, and caught me when I'd fall

With a heart full of forgiveness and a patient, gentle touch

I can’t express how thankful I am, I love you, Mom, so much

For the selfless way you live your life, and the beauty that you see

Thank you for your unconditional love, and never giving up on me

Yeah, thank you, Mom, for always being there for me
