A watchful eye,

A smile wide

As I played,

And grew,

And learned.

A voice of reason,

A guiding hand,

The cause of my please an'

 A thank you you've earned. 

I leave you now,

with no other choice,

but of course you understand.

You made who I am,

Which is why I've no doubt,

Mom, 

You're the one who I can't live without.
