You brought me into this world,
suffered through all the pain.
You held me in your arms,
and you gave me a name.

You taught me how to walk,
and you taught me how to speak.
You fed me because,
I didn't know how to eat.

You taught me good manners,
so I didn't look like a fool.
You told me I was wrong,
when I broke the rules.

You volunteered at school,
you were always there.
You read me bed time stories,
only because you cared.

And all because you're the best mom,
the best you could be.
And for that I'll always love you,
for all the things you did for me.

You told me drugs were bad,
and so were cigarettes.
You told me never to use them,
and I'd be all set.

You were there when I fell down,
you were there at my worst times.
You always could tell,
what was on my mind.

You gave me all the advice,
that I'll ever need.
You taught me wrong from right,
and all in between.

You gave me all your love,
every single day.
So I devote this poem to you,
on this Mothers Day.

Because you're the best mom,
the best you could be.
And for that I always love you,
for all the things you did for me.
