What You Mean To Me

I am thankful for you as my Mama,
Even though we have been thru so much drama.

You took care of me as a child,
Even when things were so wild.

Through my eyes as little girl,
You were my whole world.

As a child I thought you were it,
And as a teenager I thought you were, full of it.

Always beautiful and strong,
Even when things would go wrong.

The things you have had to endure,
Would break many, I am sure.

You told us about the Lord,
And encouraged us to follow after him.

You have handled your life with grace,
And always with a smile on your face.

Your life has been a wild ride,
But you have always shown your pride.

You show courage and strength,
Even when your heart aches.

I love you with all of my heart and soul,
I am thankful that I get to travel life’s road,
With such a special lady by my side.

You have been a best friend to me,
And I am praying for many more years to see,
Just what you mean to me.
