For Mother's Day

Mum, you are my best friend; I know that I am blessed
You are always there for me and to me you are the best
You’re supportive and very caring, you are my inspiration
For all the things that you do; I have complete admiration

Your life has not been easy, in fact quite difficult at times
But you have always cared for me, I am lucky you're mine
Please be sure that you are loved; always cared for by me
That I look forward to our future and whatever that may be

I know that I can achieve anything with you by my side
For the woman that you are will always fill me with pride
If I can just give you back, all that you have given to me
The bond that we share and the whole world can see

Whenever you may need me; I will always be right there
A shoulder for you to cry on; tears and hugs we can share
Fulfill our goals and aspirations; that we both can achieve
For one thing is for certain, in you I will always believe

You are my guide, my confidante and so very much more
Locked away in my heart forever by a love that is pure
We will share this life together, all the things we can do
And I will always be grateful for all that I have in you
