Sitting here and thinking,
21 years have now gone by,
You have been by my side,
Every time I laughed and even when I'd cry.

You were there to shelter me,
And to keep me from harms way,
You showed me right from wrong,
And knew exactly what to say.

When I made the wrong choices,
You sometimes raised your hand,
But, mostly you talked and listened ,
And you tried to understand.

You helped me fix my problems,
Without telling me what to do,
Imagine where Id be now,
If it hadn’t been for you!

You let me become who I am,
Without standing in my way,
You showed me love and guidance,
And helped me live my life my way.

I grew into a man,
And see who I’ve become,
I’m everything I am today,
Because you are my mom.
