my mama’s strength (better with age)

Oh, Mom, you’re the heart of my world

Through storm and through trouble, you never let go

A girl’s first love, and her forever hand

You shaped my soul with a love so grand, and through the years i’ve realized that you are my only true friend.

youve loved me the longest even before i was born, kept me safe and sound through every one of life’s storms.,

At nineteen, dreaming of a family, a house, a hope of a better life for your child than the one given to you.

Found a man who seemed to hold it all,

First love, then bruises and tears, when the dream fell apart

But you picked up the pieces, mended our broken hearts.

Every scar and every fight, you protected us

Working through the darkest nights, a warrior in her fight

Mama, you’re the strength in my song

Every day, you prove the love is strong

From the dirt and the pain, you rise above

You’re my anchor, always shown unconditional love.

I was wild, I was fierce, an unruly child

But you saw beyond my storms, you didn’t have all the answers but still you tried anyways.

Different roads, yet we’re so much the same

In your eyes, I find my name

Though I tested the limits, you never gave in or out

Your love’s a loud whistle, I hear it all around.

Mama you’re the strength in my song

Every day, you prove the love is strong

From the dirt and the pain, you rise above

You’re my anchor, my gift of love

Every broken piece, you turn into grace

Every hardship faced, adds kindness to your face

You’ve been my refuge, my guiding star

A better mom, you’ve come so far

I love you more than words can say

Blessed to have you every single day

Mom, forever you’ll be my guide

In your love, I will always abide
