Another year of memories.

Another year of memories with laughter in the sun,

Camping trips with the family were always full of fun,

Mom kept us safe from things we couldn’t see,

Wrapped in her love, just how life ought to be.

Sometimes we fished by the quiet shore,

She even taught me what a four ten was for,

Winchester in my teenage hands,

Learning life the way she always planned.

(Chorus Alternate)

On this day I say your name with pride,

Feel your love still walking by my side,

In every memory, warm and true,

There’s a piece of me that comes from you,

And though you’re gone, I clearly see,

Your love still lives and carries me.

Every Mother's Day from years gone by,

Every craft I made she kept nearby,

From grade one to eight, she saved them all,

Those memories still stand strong and tall.

Taught me about mushrooms grown around trees,

Warned me which ones brought you to your knees,

Every lesson wrapped in joy and care,

You could feel her love in open air.

(Chorus Alternate)

On this day I say your name with pride,

Feel your love still walking by my side,

In every memory, warm and true,

There’s a piece of me that comes from you,

And though you’re gone, I clearly see,

Your love still lives and carries me.

Although adopted, she put us kids first

No bad memory, not a single hurt.

When she left, a piece of me went too,

But her love still lives in all I do.

(Bridge)

Time moves on but it doesn’t erase,

The love I still feel, the warmth, the place,

Every lesson lives in me somehow,

I see her then, I feel her now.

(Chorus)

She was more than just a guiding hand,

She gave me love that helped me stand,

Not by blood but deeper still,

A mother’s heart, a steady will,

And every year when this day comes through,

I smile through tears remembering you.

She was more than just a guiding hand,

She gave me love that helped me stand,

Not by blood but deeper still,

A mother’s heart, a steady will,

And every year when this day comes through,

I smile through tears remembering you.
