"A Mother's Love"

It started so simply, just a phrase here and there,
or maybe a memory, that vanished into thin air.
You started to repeat, things you'd already said,
offering only faint clues, as to what lay ahead.
You slowly grow worse, as the seasons pass by.
You know something is wrong, you just don't know why.

There is one thing, I want to make sure you understand,

I’m here to help, comb your hair, and to hold your hand.

Lessons in life, that you’ve taught through the years,

Now shows in my love, my smiles, and my tears.

You are the only mother, that I ever knew,

And I’m the man I am now, all because of you.

Thank you for being there, right from the start,

You’ve been my mother, my friend, the beat of my heart!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

I Love You Granny!
