Mom you're the one who dried up our tears
who reassured us through all of our fears
you scolded and spanked us but did it with care
you showed that you loved us and always were fair
you listen as we talk your ear off on the phone
and remind us when hurting, we're never alone
you pray for us, and encourage in all that we do
that's why you're the best, there's only one you
you cry like a girl when you're watching some flick
but you're strong and smart, and a really cool chick
We're so happy to have a mom filled with love
and we know that God fills you with it from above

You’re the only instrument
I’ve ever learned to play
Which keys to touch
Which ones to leave patiently
For another day
Out of tune at times
Then play me some rhymes
But after all these years
Still so much to learn
We have saved all our notes
Joyous and melancholy
Waiting for the next day
To hear the new music we’ll make
