Mother Thank you (Lisa) It hurt to leave you behind You’re my mother You raised me Taught me right from wrong How to walk How to talk You were always honest with me About where I came from Why you chose me Where my biological parents were It was you who helped Mend every broken heart Put up with my anger Never gave up Tried to make me happy Handled all my issues Stayed strong when I hurt you No matter what you always said I love you Before I walked out the door Even if we had just finished fighting I heard you cry late at night You were wondering where you went wrong Got up each day Hoping I’d treat you better I crushed your every dream That I’d change someday Over and over You tried to hold me tight I just pushed you away Made you retreat Lock yourself and your heart Far away from me Today you let me go Watched me from the door You just wanted what’s best for me Mommy thanks for loving me.
