My other mother

You're the reason that I am alive,
I have you to thank for it all.
You helped me through the roughest times,
You helped to break my fall.

When my parents deserted me you cared,
This is why I call you mother,
You were there for my when I was hurt,
To me you are like none other.

You told me right from wrong,
You told me to keep my head straight,
You got me out of the life I had,
Your who I am still to this date.

So I just want to thank you now,
For all the things you have done,
No one encouraged me the way you did,
To me I am your son.

Thanks a million Mom for being there for me when I needed someone the most. You were there for all of us kids when our parents left us. So thank you for everything you did and may god rest your soul.
