Oh sitting in her rocking chair
Make me reflect, watching her there
She's seen so much of the world change
And lived it all through joy and pain
My heart does beam when I see her face
She taught me to grow with love and grace
Sometimes I wandered away from her plans
But she stored so much wisdom within her hands
No great glories will call her name
She wasn't a reacher of riches and fame
But simple life and family
Is all her world needed to be
Within this woman I see passion flow
A gift she gave me this I know
Sometimes I think , How can this be?
So much of my mother inside of me
So thank you mother for my birthday
For showing me to soar and go my way
For guidance and wisdom given for so many years
For love and encouragement and even tears
For when you still hold me with in your arms
And still try to shelter me from any harms
I know How much you taught me just from love
And now I smile and thank the Lord from above
