Happy Mother's Day (You Will Always Be My Mom)

Happy Mother's Day (You Will Always Be My Mom)

It was just twenty-four years ago in May,
When you experienced your very first Mother’s Day
What a joy it must have been
When you held me in your arms back then.

Did you know what I’d become?
The day when you held your very first son
But you should know you raised me well
Though at times my heart would rebel…

So happy, happy Mothers Day
I know that I’m eternally grateful
That I could run and call you mom
When all the things in life went wrong

No accolades could express
All the wisdom that you possess
Though my childhood may be gone
You will always be my mom!

Through the teenage years, you must have been a mess
As your patience I would constantly test—
And though I could fall to pieces,
Still you helped smooth out my jagged creases.

And yes you did shape me—
Though at times we would disagree,
And all the things in life that I’ve achieved
Is only because you believed!

Do Remember when I received my first car?
Though I didn’t travel very far—
This must have been a terrifying clue
That I’d one day be leaving you.

And then one day I left for good
But you knew this and you understood
I would eventually have to leave your home.
And branch out and make it on my own

I still haven’t found the girl of my dreams
Even though you know she’s out there
Though one day, she’ll become my wife
She’ll never replace your impact on my life.

You never were perfect,
But no one said you had to be
But still you tried your best—
And did one heck of a job

So Happy, happy Mothers Day
I know that I’m eternally grateful
That I can run and call you mom
When all the things in life go wrong

No accolades could express
All the wisdom that you possess
Though my childhood may be gone
You will always be my mom!

No matter what happens
You will always, always be, my Mom
