I need Mom

Mom, I need to talk to you
Some things I need to say
I thank the good Lord up above
For you everyday.

I think of times when as a child
I took your love for granted
But at this painful time in life
I feel the seeds you planted.

The seeds of strength, you placed in me
Are grown and now in bloom
Although alone, I face today
Your strength is in this room.

The seeds of faith, you gave to me
Have flourished, and have stayed
As you instructed long ago
When feeling weak, I've prayed.

The seeds of love you planted deep
And nourished them with care
You watered them with many tears
And blessed them with your prayers.

So Mom, I want to thank you now
YOU are Gods greatest art
for giving me these fruits of love
Forever in my Heart
