A MOTHERS DAY POEM

MOM

YOU'VE BEEN THERE WHEN I WAS BLUE
YOU'VE BEEN THERE WHEN I WAS DOWN
YOUR LOVE HAS ALWAYS BEEN TRUE
AND YOU'VE WIPED AWAY MY FROWNS

YOU'VE BEEN THERE TO SEE ME CRY
YOU'VE BEEN THERE TO SEE ME SCARED
YOU'VE ALWAYS WIPED MY TEARS DRY
ONLY BECAUSE YOU CARED

YOU'VE BEEN THERE WHEN I WAS WEAK
YOU'VE BEEN THERE WHEN I WAS WRONG
YOU TOLD ME THE LORD I SHOULD SEEK
AND HE WILL MAKE ME STRONG

MOM TO ME YOU ARE THE BEST
THE LOVE YOU'VE SHOWN TO ME
IS FAR ABOVE THE REST
AND I HOPE THIS YOU CAN SEE

SO WHAT I REALLY WANT TO SAY
FOR ALL THE THINGS YOU DO
AND I CAN'T THINK OF NO OTHER WAY
OTHER THEN TO SAY (MOM I LOVE YOU)
