For You Are My Mother

Before I came into this world as your baby girl

I watched you from the staircase in the Heavens above

From a child yourself to a grown woman you become

I chose you to be my mother

Then here I came

Your life has not been a crystal stair or a bed of roses with a fancy flair

You were not born with a silver spoon in your mouth or wealth that one could count

But what makes you the best

Is that you past the test

Loving me with all your heart

Giving me strength, unbroken and hard as a rock

Teaching me life lessons from the heart I will never forget

Giving me knowledge an untouchable force field set from the start

For you are my mother, your love unspeakable

Giving me your all unconditionally

From you I came, I am the image of you

Full of love, Kindness and generosity passed down from the spirit of you

Your pain and sorrow I wish I could wash away from you

I love you dearly as a daughter can do

For you are my mother

I am the image of you

Happy Birthday Mom
