                 To the best Mom in the world,
                                  you had me when you were just a girl,
                 I know you loved me the best you could
                                  even when you didnt know how you should.

                 Through the years of toil and tears,
                                   our love for each other kept us near,
                 And as I grew I understood,
                                   why in the world  you were you !

                 Now that I'm a mom myself,
                                   all that you went thru makes all sense,
                  I  never made the mistakes you made,
                                   cos I had you to show me the way.

                    All the innocence and love you brought
                                   this one thing to me you have taught
                  To love from the purity of your heart,
                                   generosity abounding that set you apart.

                   I've learned much from your life,
                                   and now that your'e gone,
                   I just want to say I love you & miss you MOM !
