Recall a
soothing voice
A reassuring
smile
Such gentle hands
that wiped away
The tears of
a crying child
Held in your
tender arms
For stories
you’d compile
An old lady
off to market
With a
stubborn pig and sty
I sat there
in wonder
Reached up
to touch your face
You smiled
at me so lovingly
And you
still do to this day
~~~*Chorus*~~~
You hugged and kissed us every night
We said our prayers, turned out the light
Never thought of being scared
When we woke up, you were always there
Now that is something most kids just can’t say
You were there for us
Always there for us
In every way
~~*~~
Taught us to
write our names
And how to
tie our shoes
You fixed
our hair, and kept us clean
Always put
us before you
Never
doubted your love
We never
heard you yell
You would
shield us from the hard times
Assured us
that all was well
We couldn’t
love you more
So proud
that you’re our Mom
See us
through everything we do
As the years
keep pressing on
~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
I am thanking God, and that’s the truth
Forever grateful that he gave us you
And you’re whole life you’ve sacrificed
Always put us first, without thinking twice
We know that we are blessed, Mom, every day
There’s so much more that I could say
You are there for us
Always there for us
In every way
~~*~~
~~~*Chorus*~~~
You hugged and kissed us every night
We said our prayers, turned out the light
Never thought of being scared
When we woke up, you were always there
Now that is something most kids just can’t say
You were there for us
Always there for us
In every way
~~*~~
