You have guided my steps and lit my way

Answers like petals on a blooming flower

In the depth of spring

You have showed me true strength

In the face of adversity

Even when that challenge comes from

Within

Your smile comforted me

As a child

Warm and strong

Even if your faith was brittle

Now I strive to emulate your example

And while I sometimes fall short

I hope that I make you proud

You are my mother

The one who gave me life

You carried me all those years

Time and again you lifted me up

And now that I’m out in the world

I know that I’m never alone

Your words will always be held close to my heart
