Pat

You step in the room and the whole place glows

A social butterfly, everywhere she goes

You give your time, you give your soul

Making sure the people around you feel whole

Pat, you’re the definition of grace

Bringing so much warmth to every space

But when the crowd fades and the doors are closed

You’re the strongest foundation that I've ever known

So have I told you lately that I love you?

Have I showed you what you really mean?

Selfless and kind in everything you do

The purest love that I've ever seen

Mom, you’re my steady, my anchor, my guide

Always standing right by my side

Tell me, have I told you lately that I love you?

I look back now at the years we’ve passed

I know I tested your patience, moving too fast

I could be difficult, I made it hard to steer

But you never gave up, you were always right here

You looked past the walls and my stubborn pride

With a supportive heart you kept open wide

You held me down when I wanted to run

And loved me through the rain until we saw the sun

So have I told you lately that I love you?

Have I showed you what you really mean?

Selfless and kind in everything you do

The purest love that I've ever seen

Mom, you’re my steady, my anchor, my guide

Always standing right by my side

Tell me, have I told you lately that I love you?

They see the butterfly, spreading her wings

The joy and the laughter your energy brings

But I see the warrior, so tender and strong

The reason I know exactly where I belong

You gave me your all when I made it so tough

I just hope I can thank you enough

Have I told you lately that I love you?

Have I showed you what you really mean?

Selfless and kind in everything you do

The purest love that I've ever seen

Pat, you’re my mother, my anchor, my guide

I'm so grateful you're by my side

Have I told you lately that I love you?

Mom, I love you.
