This is to my loving mother!
Sometime I kno the words to say
Give thanks for all you've done
But then they fly up and away
As quickly as they come

How could i possibly thank you enough
The one who makes me whole
To one to who i owe my life
The forming of my soul

The one who tucked me in at night
The one who stopped my crying
The one who was the expert
At picking up when i was lying

The one who saw me off to school
And spent sad days alone
Yet magically produced a smile
As soon as i came home

The one who makes such sacrifices
To always put me first
Who lets me test my broken wings
In spite of how much it hurts

Who pains the world a rainbow
When its filled with broken dreams
Who explains it all so clearly
When nothings what it seems

Are there any words for this?
I find this question tough
Anything i want to say
Just doesnt seem enough

What wat is there to thank you
For your heart, your sweat, your tears
For the thousand little things you've done
For oh-so-many years

For changing with me as i changed
Accepting all my flaws
Not loving cause you had to
But loving just because

For never giving up on me
When your wits had reached their end
For always being proud of me
For being my best friend

And so i come to realize
The only way to say
The only thank you thats enough
Is clear in just one way

Look at me before you
See what ive become
Do you see yourself in me?
The job that you have done?

All your hopes and all your dreams
The stretch that no one sees
A transfer over many years
Your best was past to me

Thank you for the gifts you give
For everything you do
But thank you, mommy, most of all
For making dreams come true!
