I love you Mom, you’ll always be
My whole life through, a part of me.
All that I know and learned from you
Those lessons taught honest and true,
A kindly heart and pleasant way
The smile that starts and ends each day
A will to speak with joy and ease
The need to help, an aim to please.
These are the rules you set in place
I promise you, I will embrace !
