How do I really start this story? There isn't a way for me to say I'm sorry And there's a million things I want to say To express how thankful I am every day To have you in my corner Cheering me on, pushing me forward You taught me to fight tooth and nail Get my *** back up when I fail You taught me that growth isn't comfortable That life isn't some kind of fairy tale If I wanted to be something That I had to work and keep working You taught me respect Taught me to reflect Taught me what unconditional meant You taught me it's ok to get angry, to vent I guess what I'm trying to say At the end of the day When it's all said and done Is, thank you, I love you Mum
