A rose so beautiful That’s what you are An aroma so fresh I can breathe from afar From the day I saw light You held me in your arms To keep me safe From all harm When I was learning my ABC You were the one who encouraged me You helped me through At the times so dark In my life you’ve made a mark Mom you are a gift to me A gift that no one else can be And in this time of toil and pain You need to know all’s not in vain As time might pass And things might change I need you to understand my rage It’s not against you not at all But I know that in your arms I’ll fall Even though I’m big and strong I’ll never do you any wrong. And if it seems I’ve lost my way I need you not to turn away For in my heart I will behold This gift of life as pure as gold You are for me a flower pure A rose I’ll hold forever dear Mom, I love you with all my heart From my thoughts you will never depart.
