Mother's Day 2004

Someone who cares and never leaves you alone
Someone who makes your house into a home
Someone who picks you up when you fall
Someone who helps you go through it all

Thank you Mom, mother, mama, mommy, madre
There's so many memories...so much I could say!
No greater love could anyone have than this
You gave your life every day so I could live

When I stop and realize how blessed I am
I remember with tears and see your gentle hand
Like when you walked me to school that first day
Or when at night we knelt by my bed and prayed

       Thanks Mom for caring and never leaving me alone
       I look forward to being with you forever
                           in God's place called Home
