Mama C

I was just a teenager when our paths aligned

Back at Chrysalis, you were so gentle and kind

You planted a seed before I even knew

Just how much of an influence I'd find in you

Through all of the seasons, you stayed by my side

A steady light when I was trying to find my stride

Oh, Mama C, you mean the world to me

A beautiful soul, so loving and sweet

You always let me be exactly who I am

With open arms, you truly understand

I love you bunches, more than words can say

Thank you for the kindness you show me every day

Lately you’ve stepped into a brand new space

A true mother figure with humor and grace

You’re funny and wise, you know what to do

To bring out the light and the laughter in the room

I look at the bond that we've managed to grow

And I just want to make sure you know

Oh, Mama C, you mean the world to me

A beautiful soul, so loving and sweet

You always let me be exactly who I am

With open arms, you truly understand

I love you bunches, more than words can say

Thank you for the kindness you show me every day

You never asked me to change or pretend

You love me for me, on that I depend

From those early days to the present we share

I'm so incredibly lucky you care

You gave me a safe place to finally land

And held out a motherly hand

Oh, Mama C, you mean the world to me

A beautiful soul, so loving and sweet

You always let me be exactly who I am

With open arms, you truly understand

I love you bunches, I just want you to see

You are a real mother to me
