In the beginning there was a joyous event
I was bestowed upon you with open arms
You received me with yearning desire
Pretty dresses, ribbons and bows
I was your daughter, when I was small
You cautioned me to be careful
You picked me up when I fell down
Placed me back on the path
You answered my questions
You gave me the best advice
But as stubborn as I was I didn't always listen
But you were always there and right
Endlessly every mistake I said was my last
You knew better learning from my mistakes
You still loved me, encouraged me to try again
I gave you grief, You gave me love and guidance
With a pure an honest heart silently you prayed
For someone to watch over me and keep me safe
For I was unique and unconditionally different
I knew I could always count on you
No matter what you were there to set me straight
Mother so many times I would say to myself
My mother was right why didn't I listen
So for being there Thank you I Love You
