I Love You Mother

I don’t know what I would do without you All of my life you have been there for me You always kept me grounded For reasons that I could not see You provided me With shelter, food and clothes And to you a great deal Is what I owe You have protected me From all of the bad things out there You say a prayer for me every night To fight off the evil spirits in the air You would still buy me things Even when I was bad And when it comes down to it You are a much better parent than dad I know that sometimes We don’t agree on certain things But every single day You teach me a lesson it seems You are the greatest inspiration In my life And when it comes to your baby boy You know just what’s right You have made me into the man That I am today And I wouldn’t have it Any other way So mom I just want you to know That no matter what I say or do Just always remember That I love you By Glenn McCrary © 2009 Glenn McCrary (All rights reserved)
