she gave me life
a chance to live today
she was always there
from changing diapers
to walking the floors
being up all hours
even as a little girl
from the nightmares
to school troubles
to boys breaking my heart
she always soothed the tears
her touch so gentle
who could resist her love
she was a good mother to us
when I started fighting
she never gave up on me
I always knew right from wrong
she taught me what she could
now she's gone
it hurts that she left
I was the last in the nest
I felt abandoned
she was my mother
my best of friend
forever remaining in my heart
because
I LOVE MY MOM
