Because You Love Me

BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME

You gave birth to me

You were young you could have given me up but you didn’t

I know I was a mistake but you treat me as if I was a gift.

You call me your baby

I call you my mom because I love you.

you lift my spirits even when you're at your worst!

you make sure I am clothed and fed and have a roof over my head before you even think about yourself

you give me everything and ask for nothing in return.

you do it all, every day, even when I don't show my appreciation

because I love you, I promise you that when I grow up I'll give you the world.

You deserve the best because people treat you like the worst, and sadly at times, I treat you the same.

because I love you, I will lay my life down for you

You tell me every day you love me.

you tell me I am worth every single fight you have with my father.

you tell me I am worth all the money you have given to the lawyers

you go to bed hungry because you made sure I had enough to eat.

you gave up your social life and time for yourself to take care of all my needs

you work your tail off to make sure I am happy

I was your main priority at all times

I would do the worst thing I could think of but you would keep loving me until the end

you never give up on me

you believe in my hopes and dreams

you encourage all my thoughts and ideas

you told me my flaws were amazing

you took all the pain from the bullies off of my shoulders and put it on yours.

you took every mean word I said to you and turned it to dust with your kindness

You helped me out of my pit of depression

You helped me get my mind off of death but on to kindness

You helped me put down a gun and pick up a pen

you forgive all my mistakes even when they were unforgivable

I would be a monster but you still saw me as your baby

you did all of these things and thought all of these thoughts because you love me.

you did it all because of your never ceasing love

you suffered the worst because you love me

you went through hell because you loved me

you dealt with my father, lawyers, and even me because you loved me

you did everything. All because you love me.
