Who is she? I asked the stander-by with whom she associates
oft.
“Why she’s strong and firm” was their reply and they were in
no way wrong
Who is she? I asked her friend with whom she was most close
“She is a giver, she’s gracious” they said and I say that it
is so
Who is she? I asked the man with whom she’s eternally wed
“She’s the most lovely girl in the whole world” why yes, he
is correct.
If you ask ME who she is I have all those views and more,
To me she’s strong, to me she’s gracious, to me she’s lovely
for sure
But I’ve seen her cry when I misbehave
I’ve seen her on her knees when I’ve gone astray
I’ve seen her flaws, her human side, I’ve seen her when she’s
ill
I’ve seen her yell, I’ve seen her scream, I’ve kinda seen it
all
But When she cries, I cry too, and my priorities rearrange
When she’s on her knees, I fall on mine too, and ask for the
strength to change
When I see her flaws, I tell myself that I don’t have to be
perfect
And when she’s mad I know what I did, was definitely not
worth it
She pushes me in every way to be a better son
Who is she? She’s the greatest person alive,
She is my loving mom.

Happy Birthday Mom! I love you! Thanks so much for all you have ever done for me and all that you still do for me. I know I haven't always been the best at expressing my gratitude, but I really am eternally grateful that I have a mom as wonderful as you.
