    I Love You Mom

    1988

    Though I have tried, in song, word and rhyme
    I just couldn't capture in the space of a line
    How much I love you, how much I care
    How when I need you, always you're there
    How the freedom you've given is the freedom I need
    How you've allowed me to grow, having sown the seeds
    How you give of yourself and don't count the cost
    How the love that's been gained will never be lost
    And never can I harness in the space of one day
    All that I feel and all I could say
    So you must consider each day of the year
    As a celebration of love by the ones you hold dear
