Your Strength

Mother, with your witty ways You alone have taught me to be stronger Then anyone would let me proclaim Mother, in your own days You worked so hard for our survival To provide for me day after day Mother, with your smothering ways You pushed me to my limit and over the edge So I could push myself further instead Mother, with your dark loving eyes Look at me as your prodigy And love me all the time Mother, in your own ways Found a way to your own success Reassuring me it was all for the best Mother, as we moved away You said that this was for the better And that things would be better Mother, how I love you so For showing me all the ropes Though life may run a muck and send me spiraling Mother, with your hard hands, With your iron fist Mother, with your desirable wit Have taught me to always be a lady though all of it
