Mother,,,she's gone now

There is no gift I could ever give

to equal what you have given me

Your goodness, your charm, you have taught me well

about the person I want to be

You've shown me how to see the good

in everyone i meet

You've taught me how important it is

To stand on my own two feet

You were never cross or strict with me

even when i went astray

when times were tough, you helped me to believe

tomorrow would be a brighter day

You shared with me many good times

You've always made me smile

You let me learn from my mistakes

Knowing the right way, all the while

Now I am a grown woman

With a husband of my own

I hope someday a family

and a very happy home

And if I should have a daughter

i hope that I can be

As good and kind and wonderful

As you have been to me

I am writing this to say "thanks" i guess

I am happy I wasn't born to another

You are truly a good woman

And I sure do love you,,,,,,"Mother"
