My mom is great
My mom is terrific
She is always there for me
Let's lay down some specifics

She birthed me, she bathed me
And held me when I cried
She was there for my first steps
And caught me on the slide

As i grew older
She sent me off to school
Showed me how to be polite
And to follow all the rules

Taught me how to swim
Helped me ride a bike
Cooked all of my food for me
So I could find out what i liked

She'll be there when I'm off to prom
For my first heartbreak
She loves me and forgives me
For all of my mistakes

I am still growing older
Not long, and I'll be gone
But everything I learned from her
I'll be sure to carry on

On day I'll be laying
She'll be beside me all the way
The day I have a child
I will turn to her and say

Mom, you've raised me strong and well
I'll be a good mom too
I don't think this plan could go wrong
With a terrific mom like you
Inspired By My Mother
