I need you
Like shoes need laces
July needs June
And words need pages

I love you
Like peanuts love jelly
Piglet loves Pooh
And Lucy loves bellies

You keep me safe
You keep me warm
You fix me up
When my heart is torn

Without you I am lost
With you I shine
I know your love comes with a cost
I can’t believe that you are mine

I take your love for granted
How can I tell you that I care
Even when my life goes slanted
It means the world to have you there

You make a house a home
You can bring joy to all life
The most beautiful woman known
You take away my strife

Always in my heart
I will love you forever
Never too far apart
When I can have you as my mother.
