It takes going out into the world to realize what your mother is actually made of,
When I was young and she dried my tears,
Sat up with me sick all night and calmed my fears,
I never used to think much of it, wasn't that a mothers job,
But now when I recall those days my heart begins to throb,
My mother gave her life for me so that I could succeed,
In Christ like example she met my every need,
When my world was spinning out of control,
She held my hand, she cried with me, she comforted my soul,
When advice I was needing, her Bible she was reading,
She'd gently steer me to the Father,
I'd find peace in being reminded I am His daughter,
Through all the years my mother has been so strong,
She's been constant, she's been steady, and I know she'll be there for me all my lifelong,
When I said I loved horses you didn't skip a beat,
You were always along for the ride, cheering me on from your ever watchful seat,
Now as I face this world and all it's pressures,
I realize like never before your love is beyond being able to measure,
I see pieces of you in me more and more each day,
And that is something I don't want to go away,
Who wouldn't want a piece of the strongest woman she's ever known,
I'm grateful a part of you has stuck with me as I have grown,
Now how to say thank you that is the question,
One that is beyond my comprehension,
I can never let you know what you mean to me,
But that you're my mother and I'm your daughter makes me forever happy!
Happy Birthday Mom!!! I love you!!!
