Because I'm your Mother

Because I am your mom I loved you before your were ever seen
I thanked God for this miracle, this little human being
So exciting, yet fragile it seemed to me then
Hearing your little heart beat inside me, now life begins

Because I am your mom no pain was too great for me to bear
Now you’re a mother and you have a child with joys and pains to share
And so into this world your life began each breath now on your own
One day we will look back at just how much you have grown

Because I am your mom I worried for you within my every bone
I finally let go of your little hand to take your first steps on your own

Because I am your mom I showed you through the years
To care about others and their feelings and the things that they hold dear

Because I am your mom you taught you right from wrong
Understanding that your faith in God will forever keep your strong
Showing you that being your own person is the only tool you will need
When morals and values are your foundation to succeed

Because I am your mom I loved you enough to also be your friend
I would be right there in ways that no one could see or ever comprehend
When there was no way you thought I could ever understand
There I would be, non-judging and willing to lend a hand

Because I am your mom, God’s gift to me was you
As my daughter I will always love you and promise to be true
I thank you for so many things and will try to never make you sad or blue

Because I am your mom, and your a young mother too
I pray I never forget all that you’ve been through
I am your Mother and in your image I am proud to be
By the grace of the Lord you were created, and then you came to be
