For Mother

Even though I knew it all along
I couldn't just admit my wrong

When thru tears you pulled a smile
I overlooked you all the while

As I sit here thinking of just how
I can't think only to say wow

If I could turn the hands back
I wouldn't for fear of all I lack

To be just a 10th of what you are
I'd be ever so blessed by far

When I've been too naive to say
You make me proud in every way

So in case today you haven't heard
Let me be the one to spread this word

You are the most important woman in my life
Without you I'd never have been a mom or wife

So thank you for all that you have done for me
And I pray as we go that for always "WE" be
