Gwendolyn

I look back on the moments we've known

The gentle foundation of the love you've shown

I was the first one to hold onto your hand

Your first baby girl, just trying to stand

When the world was spinning so fast all around

Right in your arms, my footing was found

You gave me my roots, you gave me my start

And planted your kindness deep in my heart

Oh, Gwendolyn, you are my queen

The purest heart that I've ever seen

Patient and kind, so endlessly loving

You gave me your all when I needed something

I'll honor your grace in every single way

And love you forever and a rainy day

When I was restless, you were my peace

Making the noise and the heavy winds cease

You never rushed, you just held the line

A mother so steady, so softly divine

Now that I'm grown, I can finally see

The quiet strength that you poured into me

Every sacrifice made with a smile

Carried your first girl through every mile

Oh, Gwendolyn, you are my queen

The purest heart that I've ever seen

Patient and kind, so endlessly loving

You gave me your all when I needed something

I'll honor your grace in every single way

And love you forever and a rainy day

A crown made of gold could never outshine

This beautiful, tender mother of mine

Through every storm, through every tear

Your open arms have kept me near

No matter where this life may lead

Your love is the only compass I need

Oh, Gwendolyn, you are my queen

The purest heart that I've ever seen

Patient and kind, so endlessly loving

You gave me your all when I needed something

I'll honor your grace in every single way

And love you forever and a rainy day

Yes, I'll love you forever and a rainy day
