A Letter To Mom


You were there

for every breath

for every tear

for every laugh

 

You held me

You hugged me

You loved me

 

You were there

when I scored my first goal

when I lost my first tooth

when I spoke my first word

 

You walked me through

You held my hand

You were my shephard

You were my float

You were my leader

 

and I never thanked you

 

So I'm thanking you now

for all the times

when You held my hand

when You laughed and cried with me

when You cheered me on

when You held me up

when You just loved me
