| My earliest memories are being cradled in her arms She protected me then from the world's little harms She nurtured me as I began to grow and grow And she held me firm as I jumped to and fro I remember that she worked with me to learn It was tough cause I had so many calories to burn I couldn't sit and it must have been hard I can only thank her for her patience in this regard She taught me manners, and with others how to get along She supported me and relished in my singing in my song She told me I was handsome and gave me self esteem And made it clear our family was always on the same team One day when I left for college she waved goodbye and cried And she did it again the day that I took my wife for my bride She has always been supportive and loving and so bright She has always been my mother, my nurturer and my light. |
