Mom

You raised the two of us completely on your own

Built a safe and loving place that we could call our home

When I was young, you fought for what I'd need

Advocating for me, planting every seed

Making all my birthdays a special kind of bright

Always there to hold me and make everything alright

You might think the things you do just fade away

But I remember every single day

I may not say it as much as I should

But you are patient, caring, and good

You protected me, and you kept me strong

Right by my side where you belong

If you ever think your love goes unseen

I notice everything, you're my everything

Thank you for being my mom

I think about the Women's Tea and conferences we'd share

Shopping on our girls' days, without a single care

Getting my first acrylic nails sitting next to you

And the late-night talks that always pulled me through

I remember when Kia had to be sent back

You brought Summy home to keep my heart on track

You're the kindest woman that I've ever known

And I'm so proud to say that I am your own

I may not say it as much as I should

But you are patient, caring, and good

You protected me, and you kept me strong

Right by my side where you belong

If you ever think your love goes unseen

I notice everything, you're my everything

Thank you for being my mom

I admire your strength, doing it with no help

Putting me and Bubba way before yourself

Every sacrifice just to keep us fed

Making sure we had a roof above our head

Paying for the field trips so I wasn't left out

That's what your devotion is really all about

Getting all the latest toys we put upon our list

There isn't a single sacrifice that I have missed

I may not say it as much as I should

But you are patient, caring, and good

You protected me, and you kept me strong

Right by my side where you belong

If you ever think your love goes unseen

I notice everything, you're my everything

Forever and ever, my heart is singing

Thank you for being my mom
