Happy Mother's Day!!!...

I Wish I Could Tell You, Mom 
I wish I could tell you, Mom
    how much you mean to me
But there are no words to say
    how much I admire you
how much I appreciate you
    how much I thank you
for everything you've done 
    I know how often I took you for granted

when I was growing up.
    I always assumed you'd be there
when I needed you...
    and you always were. 
But I never really thought about what that meant
    till I got older and began to realize
how often your time and energy were devoted to me.
    so now, for all the times I didn't say it before,
thank you, Mom...I love you so very much!
