To You Mom

We have been living in the house since the day that we was born,

Those walls have seen us happy, of all the ways you cared for us,

You were a gift divine and made us grow up to be strong.

You were up all night with a screaming baby, you run all day at the speed of light and

Every day you feel a little bit less, like always the beautiful woman you are.

Those walls also had the front row seat to the breaking of my heart,

I thought the pain was here to stay, but forgiveness made a way.

I remember running down the hallway, playing hide and seek

I didn’t know that I was searching for someone to notice me.

I felt so alone and undiscovered, and now I am old enough to understand.

Just when I am supposed to be listening, I let you down so many times. 

I just keep counting the ways I have let you down,

But no matter how many times I messed things around,

You were always patient to hold me down

And you taught me the ways of dealing with that could have taken me down.

I have reached a stage in life where I am strong on my two own feet,

I now have only one thing left to do, that’s to fulfill all that you have seen me to be

While you struggled to get me through, I sometimes really wonder how?

You were there when we took our first steps, and went unsteadily across the floor.

You pushed and prodded: encouraged and guided, until our steps took us out the door,
You worry now Are they ok?, Is there more you could have done?
Where we are is where you have led us, with your special love you showed us a way,
To believe in ourselves and the decisions we make.

Taking on the challenge of life day-to-day, and where we go you can be sure,
In spirit you shall never be alone.

For where you are is what matters most to us, Because to us that will always be home...

Its all about forgiveness that makes you Human!
