Mom,

-

You were the first to say I was beautiful,

The first to show me the sea.

The first to show me life’s not all bad,

The first to just see me.

-

You were the first to see me fall,

The first to lift me to my feet.

The first to show me the world of music,

The first to try and keep me neat.

-

You were the first to show me honest love,

The first to tell me of God.

Give me this chance to be the first on this day,

To say thanks to my gift from above.
