i had the best days with you

Delayed mother's day post...sorry everybody.

I love my mom, she's an amazing woman, certainly someone whom I look up to everyday. She's has done a great job of bringing me up and I can only hope that one day I will be as good of a mother as she is.  

Sometimes looking back on  my 17 and a half years I get really sad for I've spent so much time trying to be independent and grow up, and all those times that I could of spent with my mom are gone.

Sometimes, all a girl needs is her mom.

You were there when I took my first steps, 

And went unsteadily across the floor. 

You pushed and prodded: encouraged and guided, 

Until my steps took me out the door... 

You worry now "Is she ok?" 

Is there more you could have done? 

As I walk the paths of my unknown 

You wonder "Where has my child gone?" 

Where I am is where you have led me, 

With your special love you showed me a way, 

To believe in myself and the decisions I make. 

Taking on the challenge of life day-to-day. 

And where I go you can be sure, 

In spirit you shall never be alone. 

For where you are is what matters most to me,

Because to me that will always be home...
