Millions of stars in the heavens above,
Only one mother to cherish and love . . .
I am what I am.
I have chosen my path, set my own future,
but all that I am, I owe to you Mom . . .
Each day I get older and perhaps
a bit more wise,
And Mom, the more I understand
the more I realize . . .
A mother is someone who's always around
when you're stuck for some friendly advice.
A mother is someone who knows how you feel
and who'll help you without thinking twice . . .
Doing special favors
In a dozen different ways
Looking out for others
With no thought of thanks or praise . . .
Nothing else can compare,
to the happiness I find,
in the comfort of my Mother -
that's the warm and lasting kind.
A love that's based on caring thoughts
and gentle trusting ways,
moments shared, both good and bad,
and words of love and praise . . .
It takes many special qualities
To make a mother like you,
A lot of care and kindness
And understanding, too . . .
It would be nice if life didn't get
quite so busy and I could see you
as often as I'd like . . .
But in a way, Mom, you are
with me every single day . . .
When God created Mothers,
He made two loving arms
To cradle us and shelter us
from the worldly harm . . .
A mean mother never allows candy or sweets
to take the place of a well balanced meal.
A mean mother insists on knowing
where her children are at all times . . .
Who gave me love and guidance?
Who showed me wrong from right?
Who was there when I needed confidence?
Who tucked me in at night?
As the years go by, the reasons become
more clear why God gave me you as my mother . . .
You filled my days with rainbow lights,
Fairy tales and sweet dream nights . . .
Her hands reach out to comfort
when she hears the cry
Her gentle loving touch
will wipe the tears all dry . . .
Did you ever really know the job
that was in store
When you were helping your son to grow
Midst diapers, toys & more . . .
You are the mother I received
the day I wed your son,
and I just want to thank you mom
for all the things you've done . . .
You have given me a precious gift
with whom I share my life.
You raised in love the little girl
that now I call my wife . . .
Mother-in-law they say, and yet
somehow I simply can't forget
'twas you who watched his baby ways
who taught him his first hymn of praise . . .
The wedding is over and the mother of the bride
walks slowly to her daughter's room and quietly steps inside . . .
You are the mother I'll receive
the day I wed your son,
and I just want to thank you Mom
for all the things you've done . . .
Always a Mother . . .
someone who cares for
you and about you all
through your life . . .
