ALWAYS THERE FOR US

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
