Dear Mother You have always been there in my time of need The facts of life, that I have learned A beautiful mother will always have her boys to feed No matter the age, I know your respect must be earned
I may be tall and stout But i would never run my mouth Because no matter how big I sprout I will always remember you grow up in the south
This year I didn't get you flowers But instead I sat down and wrote this It might have taken a few hours So please read this in complete bliss
In fifteen days I will be a man In fifteen days I will enter the real world In fifteen days life might turn bland But in fifteen days I will get to see you twirl
For even though I am leaving high school I will always remain close to home Because with a mother like you it would take a fool To take off and roam
Because no matter how many miles traveled There will be a spot in your heart for me That will not be tainted or unraveled But rather be open and free
