Janice

March fourth, nineteen eighty-six

The day I opened up my eyes

I got to meet my mommy then

Beneath those early skies

You were working hard to build a life

So fiercely strong and true

I didn't know the road ahead

But I knew I was safe with you

Oh, Janice, you’re a wonderful mother

Funny and loving, unlike any other

We had our shadows, we had our rain

But you stood beside me through the pain

You're the shield when the world gets cold

The strongest hand I'll ever hold

I love you, Mommy, through all we’ve been

And I’d choose you all over again

We had our struggles, we lost our way

Like mothers and daughters sometimes do

But when my world was breaking down

My saving grace was you

Through a painful moment in my life

Your protective spirit showed

We reconnected in the dark

And found a better road

Oh, Janice, you’re a wonderful mother

Funny and loving, unlike any other

We had our shadows, we had our rain

But you stood beside me through the pain

You're the shield when the world gets cold

The strongest hand I'll ever hold

I love you, Mommy, through all we’ve been

And I’d choose you all over again

I saw this idea and gave it a try

Just hoping it brings a sweet tear to your eye

I hope that you like it, I want you to know

I'll carry your love wherever I go

You've worked so hard for the life that we share

And I'm so grateful just knowing you're there

Oh, Janice, you’re a wonderful mother

Funny and loving, unlike any other

We had our shadows, we had our rain

But we found our way back through the pain

You're the shield when the world gets cold

The strongest hand I'll ever hold

I love you, Mommy, I hope you see

Just how much you mean to me
