Mom
Copyright Shawna Ray, from Open album
ASCAP, Rhythm Ray Records
Picture of love, you are my mother.
We have a special bond.
You have a heart that cares no matter,
So that I can feel at home.
You are the one who’ll sit and listen
With a helping hand to lend
And now, as we are growing
You’ve become one of my best friends.
(Chorus)
A picture of love, pillar of strength,
With comforting warmth and beautiful grace;
Thank you Mom,
You have been there for me.
Picture a smile, a lifelong teacher,
Cheering me to always try
You give hugs and won’t let go when
You know I need to be held
You don’t claim to be perfect,
But you love your family.
What a gift when you admitted
You’ve been learning along with me.
A picture of love, pillar of strength,
With comforting warmth and grace;
Thank you Mom,
You have been there…
For time together and lots of laughter, over meals we talk (and talk and talk)
Those memories I will always treasure even after you pass on...
Picture respect and gratitude,
Picture my arms wrapped around you.
Picture a child saying, “I love you
Thank you for being there”…
A picture of love,
Pillar of strength,
With comforting warmth and beautiful grace;
I picture your wise, forgiving face,
Waiting and praying; full of faith.
Thank you Mom, you have been there
Thank you Mom you’ve always been there
Thank you Mom, you have been my picture of love
