My Mom

Your the reason I get up in the morning.
If it weren't for you I'd still be snoring.

You've been with me 16 years.
You've even helped me face my fears.

I could swear you hung the stars.
In kindergarten you helped me learn my R's.

You were the one who taught me to drive.
You make me proud to be alive.

Everything you go through never makes you hesitate.
Because one day you know you'll see me graduate.
