          ~You were always there~

       With a heart so full of caring
       a smile you were always sharing
       my fears in you i would confide
       knowing you were there at my side

       laughter was the sound we heard
       and never a discouraging word
       there to wipe away the tears
       and chase away childhood fears

       making each day warm and bright
       filling everything with radiant light
       feelings always so loving and true
       teaching me how to tie my shoe

       when i was down you were there
       could always count on you to care
       all you would do seemed so right
       keeping the boogieman away at night

       in your arms so easy to drown
       a mother's love was always found
       no matter what, you were always there
       that kind of love, beyond compare

       now, all i have or want to be
       comes from values you instilled in me
       with my heart of hearts, i sincerely say
       I'll love you always, Happy Mother's Day
