Mama

You gave to me the gift of life
The first that you would give
You taught me how to read and write
And showed me how to live
I learned from your example
What we were meant to be
Your strength and loving kindness
Were passed along to me
We’ve stood beside each other
In the sunshine and the rain
Through every tribulation
We shared the joy and pain
The best friend my entire life
You’re all that I could want
My steadfast, strong foundation
My lifelong confidant
And every time I turn to you
I always seem to see
Deep inside your loving heart
That you still carry me
