Number One


There is money and power, beauty and love,

but when it comes to something I can't live without,

It's you I think of .

Joy and happiness, patience it's true.

You have it all and that is why I would choose you.

 

You are my heartbeat, my headache, my wisdom and pride.

Even better than pen and paper,your pages are endlessly there for me to confide 

in all my pointless wishes and heartbreaks ,this is true:

you always calm the storm and this is why I would choose you.

 

When I feel like running away and life is just to heavy ,

you take all of my burdens, giving up? No you would never let me.

When life goes left and things aren't right 

you help me out the dark to see the light.

 

When blinded by this world on who I should or should not be ,

you provide the clarity to help me truly see--

there is no one better, because there is only one special me,

and never try to look like those false figures on TV.

I sometimes sit and think on how life would be

if I weren't apart of you and you weren't apart of me.

 

There is no better match ,you are who I aspire to be

my mom is one person I can't live without--she is the reason that I breathe 

The hope in my heart, the imagination in my dreams--

she made me who I am and without her I am incomplete.

 

So if I had to choose no hesitation would be done 

she is the one thing I can not live without

she is definitely number one.
