From a baby I was helpless and innocent as could be. My darling mother was there to take care of me. We played in the woods and felt the hot summer breeze And my mother was there when I began to wheeze.
She held my little hand while I lay in the oxygen tent. I knew that she was an angel that only God could have sent. As the world turned I grew into a man, But still there she was always to give me a hand.
Through all my blue days when I was blinded by a gray haze, My mother was there to set my heart ablaze. She boosted me up when I was down. And I always felt better as she wiped away my frown.
Even though you're a thousand miles away, I feel you in my heart each and every day. Just wanted to tell you how much you mean to me Because you truly fill my heart with unconditional joy and glee.
I think of you daily when I am covered with sweat and dirt Because the thought of you comforts me and helps me do my work. As I journey through life each and every day I just wanted you to know that I love you in each and every way.
I love you Mom.
