I'll force myself to smile,
just so you won't have to cry.
And I'll give you all my time,
because you're the reason I get by.
When I was confused and lost,
you guided me toward the right way.
And you're kindness has given me strength,
which I continue to carry out each day.
I was weak and needed help,
where you reached out your hand.
Being by me through thick and thin,
and helping me to know where I stand.
If it weren't for you,
I wouldn't know where I'd be.
Because mommy without you,
there wouldn't be any me.
