My Hero, My Mom

³

Verse 1:

You were always there for me,

Whether I was good or bad,

You showed me love,

Sometimes it was tough,

But was always sincere

Chorus:

Mom I think about you everyday,

I know you are watching me,

(X2)You were my mom you were dad,

Your the hero to me

Verse 2:

There wasn't a day of your life,

That your door wasn't open to me,

Whenever I needed you mom,

You were only a phone call away

Day or night you were there for me,

I know I was your son,

Your hero was the scrapbook title,

But truth is that you were the hero

Chorus:

Mom I think about you everyday,

I know you are watching me,

(X2)You were my mom you were dad,

Your the hero to me

Maybe because of me you struggled,

I know people have said bad things,

I know there was a time in my life,

That I made worried and scared

Chorus:

Mom I think about you everyday,

I know you are watching me,

(X2)You were my mom you were dad,

Your the hero to me

For eighteen years you fought,

To make sure I didn't end up a number,

Even after I became a grown man,

I was always your baby boy

We been through some crazy times,

We had our ups and downs,

Our good days and our bad days,

But you never gave up on me

Then one day it wasn't about me anymore,

The day you told me about your cancer,

But you know what momma,

You did what you always do and fought

Chorus:

Mom I still think about you everyday,

I know you are watching me

You were mom you were dad,

You will always be my hero

You fought your way to remission,

Vowing to never be forced into submission,

Then the day came when we got the call,

My cancers back son but moms gonna win again

Those were the words you said to me,

For thirty four years I never heard I quit,

You never spoke of giving up,

And you kept your word

Then the day came when the Dr called,

Said sir we need you to come to the hospital,

So I left from my job,

I buried my fears down deep

As I drove there that day,

I came and seen you first,

Before meeting the Doc,

I had to be sure, see with my own eyes

That the strongest woman I know,

Was still alive and fighting,

That she didn't give up,

Without me getting the chance,

To tell her I loved her or even goodbye

When the doctor told us the news,

I'll be honest it killed me inside,

I wasn't ready oh hell no not this soon,

I wanted it to be me in that bed,

Me fighting to stay alive.

Spoken 2nd Track:

To this day mom if the choice was there to made, I would rather it of be me fighting,

Me struggling to stay. Everyday and every night your baby boy was by your side, sing to me son, sing me a johnny cash song, or that song by Boyz II Men we danced to. When I did have to leave your side, I was afraid but you always told me take care of what you need to, you assured me with the words mom's not going any fuckin where.

Then the day came, while we took your grandson out of town for his first trip to the monster truck show, My fear of losing you came true, my hero made her way to St Peter's gate that night to accept her Sngel's wings.
