A Mother's Love (breathtaking)

I would never let a tear fall from your eye
Cause everything you are to me, ohh I could never let you hurt inside
You mean so much, and I'm so thankful that you're in my life
And I appreciate your love and all of your sacrifice
Without you by my side, I could never survive
I wouldn't be the woman standin' here before your eyes
You taught me strength and you gave me guidance
Whenever faith was lost, you were there to find it
And all because a mother's love is unconditional
With all my heart and all my soul, I wanna let you know
That I thank you, and I love you
And would never place anyone above you
You have given me life, and I just want you to know
That you're the reason I'm here today
I will never let go of everything that we share
And nothing, I mean NOTHING could ever compare
I thank you, I thank you, I thank you, listen to what I'm sayin'
See, I've been blessed to be raised by a woman so strong
Cause even when I did things wrong
You would show me just the way that I should carry on
You kept me safe, and you protected me with all you had
And any time I was in need you always gave your last
Again, without you by my side, I never could survive
And I wouldn't be the woman standing here before your eyes
I remember wakin' up early Monday morning
"Five more minutes" is what I'd mumble
With my new jeans, fresh shirt, and Polo boots with the buckle
I’d drop you off at work, and you’d say “you bet not be late!”
You were always there to take all of my fear away
And when he broke my heart, you said it was his lost
And not to think about, "you are so much better off”
Remember when I didn’t believe that I was ever gonna make it
You said "it's yours, and all you gotta do is go and take it"
So here I am, finding my way, thanking you every step of the way.
My Mama...My heart...A love like no other..Absolutely Breathtaking!
