MOTHER

I WAS BORN NOVEMBER 29TH 1978,
BY THE WORLD'S BEST MOM WITH NO DEBATE.
YOU GAVE ME LIFE,
AND I'M FOREVER THANKFUL,
WHEN I WAS A KID,
I KNOW I WAS A HANDFUL.
BUT YOU TAUGHT ME MANNERS AND SELF RESPECT,
ALL OF THE THINGS I WOULD NEED WHEN I LEFT.
NOW I'M GROWN UP AND I'VE LEFT HOME,
OUT IN THE WORLD MAKING A PATH OF MY OWN,
NEVER FORGETTING WHERE I CAME FROM,
BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT YOU'LL ALWAYS BE MY MOM.
THE ONE WHO RAISED ME THE BEST SHE COULD,
EVEN THOUGH I WASN'T ALWAYS GOOD.
YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN THERE TO LEND A HAND,
MAKING SURE I WAS ABLE TO STAND.
IF I HAD A CHOICE I WOULD CHOOSE NO OTHER,
FOR I HAVE ALREADY GOT THE WORLDS GREATEST MOTHER.
