It's about time

I let you know

as my heart

it overflows

with the love

I have for you

the admiration

for what you do.

So in awe

of who you are

how in little time

you've come so far

and I know

the tears you cry

forever asking

yourself why

Our life is not

a perfect thing

never knowing

what it will bring

Our thoughts are always

so unsure

of where we are

and where we were.

Since the very first

close to my heart

you were in peace

a perfect start.

But life has had

it's way with us

We can be fooled

by those we trust.

But we are strong

my baby grown

Now we are both

out on our own.

and I am here

each time you call

I am your Mom;

soft place to fall.

My heart is strong

and hears you weeping

Will keep you safe

while you are sleeping

So glad to share

all of your dreams

and when the night

is cruel it seems

I have been here

to watch the night

and keep you safe

within my sight.

If I don't keep

you by my side

It's so you never

loose your pride.

It's so you struggle

to maintain

all you have worked for

all you've gained.

It's so you learn

to take the reign

and when you fall,

to get up again.

It's so you know

that without me

You are a woman,

strong and free

That even young

you can be sure

you can be young,

but so mature.

And most of all,

you'll always know

that even if

life throws a blow

It will never

knock you down

Even when,

I'm not around.
