YOU WERE MOM


  I can't quite remember when I first opened my eyes,


 From that moment you were always by my side, mother 
 Of mine.

 You held me when I was hungry, fed me as I drifted back 
  To sleep,

  Made me feel secure, washed me and made sure I was 
  always clean.

 When I woke from a scary dream it was you who took away 
  My fearful screams,

You were there when I was down, near and always around,
You were mom.

You taught me about the things that I should know, about
The world as I would grow,

You were a friend, a companion, but most of all, you were
My mother, you were mom.

Memories I will never forget, I would trade them all for one
More day, you went away,

I will see you again in a different kind of land, you were mom,
thanks for all that you were.
