Mom

Mom,
I know you'll always watch me,
Each and every day,
So in my times of troubles,
You're there to take my hand and lead the way.

Mom,
I know you'll always love me,
You'll always be right here,
Shielding me from all my pain,
Standing between me and fear.

Mom,
I know you'll always protect,
From hurt and grief and woe,
That you will hold me in your arms,
And never let me go.

Mom,
I want to thank you,
For everything you do,
You're my icon and my influence,
And I want to be like you.

Mom,
I want you to know i love you,
I always have, and always will,
And everyday my heart will grow,
And my love for you will over-spill.

Mom,
I know at times we'll argue,
Or be miles and miles apart,
But you will always be close to me,
Where it matters- in my heart.
