A Woman Called Mother

This is a tribute to my mother,

The woman who never said never,

The one who never called my dreams a blunder,

I just know I'll love you forever.

I don’t remember much from when I was a baby,

But I heard tales from one lovely lady,

You were the one who never told me maybe,

Because you kept me from paths so shady.

I remember little from when I was a toddler,

That I loved the woman that I call mother,

Day after day I know i'd wonder,

But you never let me go asunder.

The days came when I was a naughty teenager,

I never had a frown because I'd see you later,

I prayed for days that nothing would ever change her,

Because if it did i'd always be in danger.

And now I’m a man called an adult,

I see you crying, it's not your fault,

I now so smile because I know your thought,

You're thinking of the days you would spank my butt.

I just want to tell you these words forever,

You’ve made my heart bright like a burning ember,

And so, before forever turns to never,

Just know that I’ll love you now and ever.
