A little girl inside your womb
You nourished me with love
More than a child in you eyes
A gift from up above

From that first breath I took
You sheltered me from harm
Embracing this little girl
In your loving arms

It wasnt always easy
You gave it all you had
Taking on the role of both my mom and dad

It was you who wiped away the tears
In the darkest of the night
Comforting me of all my fears
And holding me so tight

It was you who held me close to you
When I could not walk alone
Giving me the courage to
Try it on my own

From skinned up knees to broken dreams
It was you who was always there
Reassuring my insecurities
That someone will always care

You taught me of lifes ups and downs
Of knowing right from wrong
No matter how tough life can be
To stand up and be strong

No longer am I a little girl
Ive had to make it on my own
No matter what life holds for me
Youre there for me I know

Of all the things you’ve taught me
One thing will always hold true
The greatest gift I can give my boys
Is to BE A MOM LIKE YOU
