For small kicks and big dreams;
For lessons taught from birth through teens
On all that life is made of.
For an endless supply of love.
I thank this beauty by my side.
For countless hours during countless nights
And countless days teaching wrong and right;
For giving me more when there was no more;
For showing me how to soar;
I thank this beauty by my side.
For consoling me when I cried
And scolding me when I lied;
For the discipline I often wished you'd stop;
For never giving up;
I thank this beauty by my side.
For those helpful winks and approving nods
That pushed me to beat the odds;
For the birthday parties you held for me;
For the silent prayers on bending knee;
I thank this beauty by my side.
For calming me when I was too loud;
For helping me to make you proud;
For drafting me as your first pick
And your crazy remedies when I was sick.
I thank this beauty by my side.
For lifting me up when I fell short.
For your strength and support.
For being my most outspoken fan.
For teaching me to be a man.
I thank this beauty by my side.
For the million things I can thank you for;
For what tomorrow brings and a million more;
Thank you mom, for your love and care.
Thank you for always being there;
Forever beautiful by my side.
