We've been thru so much together,
That it's hard to think of you as just my mother.
You have been by my side,
All these long years.
And I am grateful,
For your loving care
I can't begin to repay,
All that you've done for me.
Somehow I must,
Because I feel I should.
Not because I feel obligated,
But because I love you.
I've always felt,
This closeness we have.
And in the days and years ahead,
I know we will become closer still.
That's the kind of relationship we have,
I want you to know.
God has surely blessed us,
To be the way we are.
What other reason can there be,
For the love we have shared.
This world as it stands today,
Sometimes tears families apart.
But you and I have never,
Lost that love for each other.
I know that in the years to come,
We will share ourselves even more.
I will cherish each and every day,
And I pray for even more.
Happy Birthday to you,
My dear sweet mother.
May all that you wish for,
Come to you with lots of love.
Love you always, my mother,
From the deepest part of my heart.
To you, my mother,
From me, your daughter.
