For as long as I can remember

                           you have been by my side

                           to give me support

                           to give me confidence

                           to give me help
 
 

                           For as long as I can remember

                           you have always been the person I looked up to                  

                           so strong

                           so sensitive

                           so pretty
 
 

                           For as long as I can remember

                           and still today

                           you are everything a mother should be
 
 

                           For as long as I can remember

                           you have always provided stability within our family

                           full of laughter

                           full of tears

                           full of love
 
 

                           So much of what I have become

                           is because of you

                           and I want you to know

                           that I appreciate you, thank you

                           and love you

                           more than words can express
