Thank You Mom

Sometimes I know the words to say
And give thanks for all you've done
Then they fly up and away
As quickly as they come

How could I possibly thank you enough
The one who makes me whole
The one to whom I owe my life
For the forming of my soul

The one who tucked me in at night
The one who stopped me crying
The one who was the expert
At picking out when I was lying

The one who saw me off to school
And spent sad days alone
Yet magically produced a smile
As soon as I came home

The one who makes such sacrifices
To always put me first
To let me test my broken wings
In spite of how it hurts

Who paints the world a rainbow
When its filled with broken dreams
Who explains it all so clearly
When nothing is what it seems

Are there really any words for this
I find this question tough
Anything I want to say
Just doesn't seem enough

What way is there to thank you
For your heart, your sweat, your tears
For ten thousand little things you've done
For oh-so many years

For changing with me as Ive changed
Accepting all my flaws
Not loving cause you had to
But loving just because

For never giving up on me
When your wits had reached their end
For always being proud of me
And for being my best friend

And so I come to realize
The only way to say
The only thank you thats enough
Is clear in just one way

Look at me before you
See what Ive become
Do you see yourself in me
The job that you have done

All your hopes and all your dreams
The strength that no one sees
A transfer over many years
Your best was passed to me

Thank you for the gifts you give
And for everything you do
But thank you mom most of all
For making my dreams come true
