Mother

There was a time when I was small
Not yet strong or tall
When you held my hand
There was a time when you sang me a song
And daily
Taught me right from wrong
So that I could become an honest women
There was a time that I was sick
And you put a cool cloth to my head
You kissed my cheek while I lay in bed
And then I knew everything would be okay
Over the years you cared for me
All your love and joy was free
So now I take this time to say
"I love you"
