Mechelle

November twenty-second, nineteen eighty-four

In a quiet room at Good Sams, just behind the door

I couldn't even speak yet, but I felt a sudden joy

When you leaned right in and whispered to your brand new baby boy

You said, "I am your mother, and I'll love you endlessly

I will forever be your mom, just you wait and see."

Oh, Mechelle, you're beautifully made in God’s own design

With a mother's gentle touch that brings a peace to my mind

You are patient, you are wise, and you always make me laugh

Guiding me so steady on this winding, rocky path

I just want to say thank you for everything you've done

You are truly one amazing mom.

Through all the years of growing up, you showed me how to stand

With a funny joke to tell me, or a healing, helping hand

When the world got a little heavy, you knew just what to say

Your wisdom was a lantern that always lit the way

I still feel that same devotion from the day that I was born

Keeping all those promises you made that autumn morn.

Oh, Mechelle, you're beautifully made in God’s own design

With a mother's gentle touch that brings a peace to my mind

You are patient, you are wise, and you always make me laugh

Guiding me so steady on this winding, rocky path

I just want to say thank you for everything you've done

You are truly one amazing mom.

Time moves a little faster than it did back in the day

But the truth inside that hospital will never fade away

I am still your baby boy, and you are still my rock

I count my lucky blessings every single time we talk.

'Cause Mechelle, you're beautifully made in God’s own design

With a mother's gentle touch that brings a peace to my mind

You are patient, you are wise, and you always make me laugh

Guiding me so steady on this winding, rocky path

I just want to say thank you for everything you've done

You are truly one amazing mom

Yeah, you will forever be my mom.
