Right From The Start

Since the moment I was born,From the very first start,
You loved me unconditionally with every piece of your heart,

You changed me, fed me, and rocked me to sleep,
You held me close whenever I would weep,

Sleepless nights with belly aches and sore throats,
Buying school clothes every year from tank tops to coats,

Through all of the tantrums you still loved me so,
And I loved you just as much though sometimes it didn't show,

Every Sunday we went to church that became our thing,
I loved to watch you get up there and sing,

As my teenage years came you never stopped loving me,
Through my hateful words and wanting to run free,

No matter what I did or said good or bad,
You always let me know the love for me you had,

You were always there for me whether I was wrong or right,
You've helped me and cared for me with all of your might,

I'm so grateful to have had someone like you to raise me,
The strong woman you are is who I strive to be,

I love you granny and I just want you to know,
Ill be ok papa is waiting so you can go,

Ill think of you always and you'll never leave my heart,
Ill love you as you loved me right from the start.
