Mom

I'd gone though many hardships
Some good times, and some bad.
And you were always there for me.
Cause no one else, is what I had.
You loved me better than you could.
You taught me how to sew,
You taught me how to listen and love.
To let my feelings show,

But I'd never known a hardship,
I'd never known real tears.
Not until your sweet kind words,
Were far, gone from my ears.
I lost the lessons that you taught me.
Kept them locked away inside.
I forgot how to listen, forgot how to love,
Kept my tears behind my eyes.

I remembered how to listen.
Had never forgot how to sew.
He re-taught me how to love,
Then, I let my feelings show.

Looking at it now, I see.
You were greater than I thought,
The most important thing you taught me,
Is not to let anything be forgot.

I promise not to forget you.
Or the lessons that you taught.
There'll always be a place for you,
At the bottom, the root of my heart.
